Personal Interest…

• Timeless Love: Something for my daughter to remember me by. And yours too… link here and there is a blog article outlining the roadmap.
• Channelling my cyber enthusiasm with ML/MLOps and the ridiculous growth in the field into Orion AI Threat Intelligence. Large groups have only just got the power to execute on large scale automated attacks. The goal ultimately being to address the threat of adversarial use of new generation LLM automated attack vectors etc.
  • Currently developing connectors for the OpenCTI Platform.
    • Planned Workers:
      • Distributed Serverless ETL of Data Feeds.
      • Machine Learning enhanced enrichment both in data at rest and later streaming.
      • Integration of VERIS/MiTRE framework threat Intelligence.
      • Configuration of OpenBAS with novel attacks.
• Developing our most ambitious project yet to be explored. Follow it at www.synavate.tech or at https://www.github.com/synavate. The one liner is symmetrical intelligence augmentation (Product at POC Phase after successful R&D 🤗 – therein lies the fun!!!!)
  • September 2024 Update: A team at MIT has successfully achieved through the use of Knowledge Graphs the connection of disparate information. We are in touch to see if anything else tinkering around is useful. Link here: here
• Exploring End to End deployment of ML models in the cloud. Leveraging modern MLOps tools for increased experiment tracking, tuning and monitoring.
• Developing novel tools to develop my ML, Data Analysis, Machine Learning and scalable MLOps acumen as well as core development abilities. See my blog for some examples and github for a number of experiments. Apologies for poor code as I continue to explore the depths.
• Re-sensitizing myself after a life of high intensity. Learning to do nothing – because it’s something worth doing.
• Electronic music audio-visual performance art. Actively advocating for the expansion of the boundaries of creativity through collaboration across technology and music.
• Developing my awareness of my emotional & spiritual state to move toward more equanimity moment to moment.
• The curious unfolding and beauty of Nature and it’s subtle order.
• The art of building, breaking and fixing things…
• Playing with GenerativeAI tools and their API’s to create novel content. It feels as if finally the images and concepts that I see in my mind have a means of being released, an outlet for my imagination.
• A student of the mountain arts… did a little bit of scraping myself up rocks. Dear to my heart.

Pursuit Things I’m Currently Dabbling In….

• Countering Adversarial AI Techniques as well as exploring the bounds.
• Full stack technology deployment: From ideation, through training models and traditional software engineering to cloud DevOps.

• Implementing skills obtained throughout my career as an analyst, project & product manager, founder, dreamer & believer in creativity, play and problem solving.
• Diving headfirst into Applied ML and the Future of Business.
• Paragliding!
• Piano

Previously:

• Participating in the NxM Live DAO & the Blockchain Ecosystem Event space at large – Dedicated to shifting the creative arts industry focus from large centralized organizations to the artists, and removing any barriers to creativity.
• Developing a product in conjunction with Teticio out of London/Madrid for tooling DJ’s and Producers for “joining the dots” between disparate tracks in their libraries.
• Co-Founder of AMISH Technology Group / Audiato Creative Technologies
• Live audio visual performances @ Sense You All Live. We’re mapping stories, to music and video to tell stories of the human condition. Leveraging the emotive power of audio-visual media.
  • Improvised performance using a combination of hardware and software.
• Concepts and technical applications of information and cyber security principles using existing tools and applied scripting (linked to a lifelong love for the abstract world of technology.)
• Contributing to the Web3 future @ Verida.io (Medium here)
• Founded “Tails Personal Technology” – A project to improve the general awareness of technological privacy principles. To protect the individual, reality and ultimately, the cohesion of society from manipulation (eg. 2016 USA elections); by business, and adverserial state actors (see “The Social Dilemma” for more)
• Explored using Machine Learning approaches to map emotion from audio and visual. Deeply enjoyable conceptually, though long shot in application. Subjectivity of the human experience threw a curve ball in the approach. Made a fantastic friend who has already completed some significant and impressive work in the space to discuss the complexity of it.
