RSS FeedBy nature, I'm a Security Researcher who by some fascinating journey found myself in Executive Search and Technical Leadership hiring (and I absolutely love what I do). When I'm not planning my next adventure across the globe, headhunting for top-tier tech talent, analyzing malware and hunting bug bounties, or building AI assessment systems, I'm sharing insights through writing, particularly on the intersections of talent acquisition, technology, and exploring cognitive architectures, transformer models, attention mechanisms, reasoning latency, chain-of-thought prompting, few-shot learning, and decision transformers.
Currently building 
- an AI-powered platform for smart job matching and career guidance. Using Glide's sophisticated AI assessment system to conduct thorough technical and leadership evaluations through custom case studies and autonomous interviews, delivering comprehensive insights to Fortune 500 clients. Beyond Glide's functionality, I'm developing Loop C1 (Cognitive 1) - an experimental model that optimizes reasoning latency and cognitive depth through advanced neural architecture. This weekend passion project focuses on refining transformer-based attention mechanisms and exploring novel approaches to conditional probability calculations, with the breakthroughs integrated into Glide's assessment system.
