My journey in the field of technology began at a young age, when I started designing control systems as a teen, driven by my hobby and passions. This early start laid the foundation for my future achievements. I later graduated with a BSc in Electronics and Communications Engineering (1986) and further honed my skills in developing secure AI predictive critical network infrastructures for the UK government and NATO.I then took on the challenge of managing the world's fastest and busiest networks for the French Media consortium, where our networks delivered very high-resolution compressed images for 95% of all newspapers and magazines from the Parisian editorial sites to regional print sites via 8Mbps satellites. Elsewhere, standalone PC adoption was starting to gain pace. My approach to problem-solving in the field of Electronics and Communications Engineering has always been unique, setting me apart in the industry. When I was recruited to help Ethernet inventor 3Com manage networks, I brought a fresh perspective. As the Internet gained popularity, I provided technical expertise on scaling these early networks for Global banks and many FTSE 100 companies. My insights were intuitive; however, as networks grew, I looked to evolution and neuroscience as data grew exponentially.Unfortunately, my solution of integrating teams of neurodiverse STEM graduates to supplement existing teams for innate 'strengths in Autism' as I coined. Selected to see patterns and anomalies and utilise their superior long term memory. Sadly, I was two decades too early and approached my old customer base of global banks in the years after the banking crisis. The technical management was impressed with how neurodiverse mixed teams could potentially uncover hacking, fraud, and money laundering, but rejected at board levels, none of the banks wanted to be the first.Innovators know the 'chicken and egg' dilemma despite highlighting the many business-value win-wins and de-risking strategies. However, the IEEE recognised my potential and persuaded me to volunteer and spread this unique knowledge. I presented this at global conferences from 2010 to 2014 with the help of Dr Greg Shannon, former IEEE CTO and then Assistant Director for Cyber Strategy at the White House (Obama years).With Large Language Models (LLMs), we are at the third transformative stage of AI (Augmented Intelligence). But there is another that has even greater potential but will become another A-Ha! Moment.
