I’m incredibly honored to have been featured as the lead story in Portfolio YVR—a big thank you to Helen Siwak, EcoLuxLuv Comms, Ritchie and the entire magazine team for this opportunity! 🙏✨ This feature dives into my unconventional journey—from early teenage years selling online game hacks to navigating the highs and lows of the crypto world, and ultimately finding my stride in cybersecurity, community-building, and education. Highlights include: ✔️ Building and leading a dedicated cybersecurity team at CPABC from the ground up. ✔️ Growing ISACA Vancouver Chapter from intimate gatherings to events hosting hundreds, championing inclusivity and mentorship. ✔️ Shaping new cybersecurity talent pipelines at The University of British Columbia and Vancouver Community College (VCC) to equip the next generation with both technical and business acumen. ✔️ Launching OpenRep, an AI-powered digital marketing platform designed to democratize organic digital marketing, much like how Canva democratized design. 🚀 At the core of all these endeavors is a single ambition: empowering people through technology. By mentoring emerging analysts, fostering thriving professional communities, and making digital marketing accessible, I aim to help others unlock their full potential. Thank you again, Helen and Portfolio YVR, for shining a light on the Vancouver tech scene and sharing my story. I hope it encourages others to dream big, break boundaries, and create value where none seemed to exist. #cybersecurity #community #AI #feature

🌟 Unlocking the Power of Ethical AI: Key Takeaways from Last Week’s AI Mastery Event🌟 Last week, I had the privilege of sharing the stage with Rob Goehring to delve into the intricate ways AI influences our decisions and impacts our lives—from safeguarding privacy to ensuring fairness in critical areas like hiring and finance. Our session tackled: ✅ Common ethical AI pitfalls and real-world examples of what can go wrong. ✅ Practical strategies to integrate ethical AI best practices into every stage of the software development lifecycle (SDLC). ✅ How to evaluate organizational readiness for adopting AI responsibly. Key Insights: 🔹 Get ahead of legislation: Canada’s AIDA is evolving, and we expect alignment with global frameworks like the EU AI Act. Proactive preparation is essential. 🔹 Bias lurks everywhere: Ethical practices must be embedded throughout the AI development process to minimize risk. 🔹 Human oversight matters: Across all major standards, human involvement is crucial—organizations need to know when and where oversight is needed. A huge thank you to our engaged audience and our fantastic sponsors—OpenRep, ISACA Vancouver Chapter, and Northeastern University —for making this event a success! Let’s continue driving forward ethical and responsible AI innovation. 🚀 What steps is your organization taking to embed ethical AI? Let’s connect in the comments! 👇
