Global customer experience platform
Fortune 50 capital markets
Led architecture and stakeholder alignment for a customer-facing platform unifying CRM, identity, analytics, and downstream services under strict regulatory and security requirements.
Drew Breyer
I design security-minded enterprise systems for large financial institutions, and help the people who run them make clear technical decisions.
Twelve years across cybersecurity, enterprise CRM, and applied AI in regulated environments. M.S. in Cybersecurity from UT Dallas. I spend most of my time on the parts that are hard to get right, and on explaining them clearly.
Areas of focus
The common thread: complex systems, regulated constraints, and stakeholders who need to understand the tradeoffs.
Cybersecurity & risk
M.S. in Cybersecurity (UT Dallas) plus Security+. Threat-aware architecture, least-privilege controls, and governance that survives audit and incident.
Solution engineering
Architecture, integration, and stakeholder alignment for enterprise programs spanning Sales, Service, Marketing, and downstream systems, with adoption treated as part of the design.
Applied AI
AI workflows built around real constraints: data access, auditability, and measurable outcomes. MCP-style patterns that connect conversational tools to live enterprise data without sacrificing governance.
Executive communication
Years presenting to senior audiences in financial services. Comfortable translating technical risk into terms a non-technical decision-maker can act on.
Selected work
Engagements I can speak to in depth. Specifics are abstracted where the work is confidential.
Enterprise CRM modernization
Insurance & banking
Owned technical strategy across a portfolio of CRM transformations: integration design, control models, and adoption strategy for thousands of seats.
AI-powered advisory workflows
Financial services
Designed AI-enabled workflows pairing conversational interfaces with live enterprise data. Applied MCP-style patterns for contextual analysis while preserving full governance and audit trails.
Other work
Darknet markets disruption
Graduate research on illicit market structure and adversarial behavior. Capstone for the M.S. in Cybersecurity.
Enterprise demo engineering
Reusable demo environments and narrative frameworks that compressed enterprise validation cycles.
Communication leadership
Toastmasters board service and internal enablement focused on executive-grade clarity.
Demonstration
Interactive concept work, built to illustrate ideas I care about.
Stablecoin wallet — USDC banking concept ↗
Live prototype · best viewed on a phone
A mobile-first prototype of a USDC-backed stablecoin wallet, showing how a regulated bank could offer crypto-rail payments using 2-of-3 Multi-Party Computation custody. Convert checking ↔ USDC, send remittances across four corridors, and follow the threshold-signing flow end to end.
The arithmetic of fees ↗
Interactive working paper · live
An explorable analysis of what investment fees, inflation, and the equity risk premium do to terminal wealth — with Monte Carlo evidence and shareable scenarios.
A wide & deep pond ↗
Interactive field survey · live
A cited survey of why diversification is the solved core of retirement investing — the wealth-creation tail, volatility drag, the professionals’ scorecard, and an honest price on keeping a gambling sleeve anyway.
The yield illusion ↗
Interactive working paper · live
A working paper on income that isn’t — dividend irrelevance and the tax meter, covered-call “income,” and daily-reset leveraged funds: total return, relabeled, minus friction.
The a6700 field guide ↗
Field manual · live
A course, recipe deck, and toolset for learning photography and video on the Sony a6700 — written around the two lenses I actually own.
The demo harness ↗
Field manual · live
A step-by-step walkthrough of building an AI agent harness in VS Code — custom agents, MCP, and Playwright — and using it to carry a Dynamics 365 demo for a fictional Fortune-50 capital-markets firm from discovery to delivery.
Bowl Forge — exact-gram macro calculator ↗
Interactive tool · live
Enter a daily calorie target and a macro split, pick a rice, a protein, and your fats, and a weighted least-squares solver returns the exact gram weight of every ingredient per bowl — recomputed on each keystroke, with honest deltas when the math can’t land.
The Engine Room ↗
Interactive tool · live
A daily training programmer: a machine, a clock, a quality — the day, written. A deterministic engine grounded in the interval, concurrent-training, spine, and recovery literature returns the day as a coach would — opener, strength, conditioning, recovery, one quote — shareable by URL and built to print.
