Innovation is not an innate ability that one can simply acquire; it requires constant nurturing, cultivation, and protection. Fortunately, I was privileged to start my career alongside like-minded individuals who shared the same passion for developing technological tools that would eventually become the foundation of our collective success. Despite the intense pressure and long hours that characterized those days, we had a sense of mastery over our domain and it was a truly exhilarating experience. However, like all good things, it eventually came to an end, and I knew it was time for me to move on.

After pursuing my career in the startup world, I took some time to fulfill my childhood dream of receiving an undergraduate degree from Harvard University in 2008. Along the way, I also acquired several industry certifications, including the Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) and the Project Management Professional (PMP).

In the present day, you will find me fully engaged in the latest technologies that drive innovation, particularly machine learning and artificial intelligence. I firmly believe that AI will have a profound impact on the technology we use in our daily lives. Complex neural networks already power a significant portion of our online activities, and the ability for systems to learn from data has the potential to transform our world in ways that we can hardly imagine. As someone who works with artificial intelligence on a daily basis, I am in awe of the power embodied within the latest tools such as Stable Diffusion, ChatGPT, and GPT-4, and I am thrilled to explore where they can take us.

As technological systems have become more complex, so has the threat landscape that surrounds them. Cybersecurity is no longer a matter of simply patching systems or performing penetration tests; it has become fantastically intricate. For instance, autonomous vehicles integrate traditional control systems with the matrix-level complexity of computer vision sensors that feature advanced convolutional neural networks, all of which are connected to the internet 24/7. This presents new challenges for both attackers and defenders that we are only beginning to understand. I am passionate about working at the intersection of these technologies, and I hope to play a crucial role in ensuring their safe deployment in the near future.

When someone once asked me about my passion, I replied that technology was my first love, but photography was my mistress that keeps sneaking back into my life. As a young boy, I always dreamed of taking the stunning photographs I saw in magazines like National Geographic, but I could never afford the necessary equipment. However, today, we live in a world where our smartphones contain all the power we need to unleash our inner creativity in ways that were once unimaginable. My blog and social media feeds, including Twitter, are my creative outlets for my photography. I enjoy discussing how technology and photography intersect and how AI will change this world for the better. So, stay tuned, hold on tight, and let's take this journey together!
