ABOUT YESENIA Y.
I architect secure AI and software systems by combining 12+ years of application security, supply chain defense, digital forensics, and open-source security leadership with deep hands-on research in AI sandboxing, agent integrity, and software / AI lifecycles. I build scalable frameworks and security architectures that reduce organizational risk, accelerate developer productivity, and set industry standards.As a cybersecurity expert of over 12 years, I have managed global crises with the unique skill set I\'ve gained as a practitioner and instructor in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. I’ve helped Fortune 100 companies reduce third-party risk, modernize DevSecOps practices, and align software security with business outcomes. My work spans incident response, internal security tooling, open source security, and AI safety—currently, empowering the world with changes for AI Safety and Open Source Security at Microsoft. As a first-generation Cuban American raised in Miami and a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu instructor, I bring a unique blend of resilience, technical depth, and human connection to everything I do. I specialize in making the invisible visible—translating emerging risks into scalable strategies that teams trust and leadership supports.I’m also the founder of The Lioness Instincts, a nonprofit dedicated to educating women across the U.S. in digital privacy and physical self-defense.Let’s collaborate—especially if you’re building at the intersection of innovation and protection. 🥋🦁
