I often deliver technical security content to professional and executive level audiences. For example, as a SOC Analyst at IDDA, I directly presented our SOAR (Security Orchestration, Automation and Response) platform to Ministry of Security representatives. I gave a technical walkthrough of the platform architecture, incident automation workflows, threat correlation mechanisms, and presented real world use cases. Subsequent to the presentation, the product received considerable interest from multiple stakeholders and potential investors.I've also attended vendor meetings with Palo Alto and Forcepoint DLP, presenting technical assessments and making workflow recommendations to help optimize the deployment of security products and their integration into the corporate environment.Besides this type of enterprise-level presentation, I've also been the guy on the team to go to an international hackathon. I presented AI security and automation concepts at an innovation event in Georgia. I gave a presentation to a technical evaluation panel, detailing the design of the system, the model for threat detection, and the architecture of the data pipeline.I also took part in the Google AI Hackathon in Kazakhstan, where I presented a detailed technical pitch including model architecture, implementation strategy, and deployment aspects to judges and business representatives.These occasions implied explaining intricate technical details in a digestible form, addressing immediate technical inquiries, justifying architecture choices, and discussing security compromises. I feel at ease presenting deeply technical information to both engineering communities and business leaders.

I have spoken at multiple international cybersecurity conferences and platforms, addressing both deeply technical audiences and early-career practitioners, with topics spanning AI security, detection engineering, and modern SOC evolution. At NDC Security 2026 Oslo, I shall deliver “Who Gave the Agent Admin Rights?! Securing Cloud & AI Machine Identities”, where I'll examine non-human identities, AI agents, and the emerging risks of autonomous privilege, focusing on governance, detection, and containment strategies in cloud environments. At BSides Pittsburgh and BSides Krakow, as well as at the Silicon Saxony Day (19th edition), I presented “Enhancing Open-Source IDS & SIEM Solutions into AI-Enabled XDR & SOAR Solutions in Cloud Environments”, focusing on extending open-source detection stacks with automation, ML-driven enrichment, and response orchestration to build scalable, analyst-effective security operations. In contrast, my session at BSides Buffalo, “From Curiosity to Cybersecurity: A Practical Guide to Getting Started and Standing Out”, was designed for students and early professionals, offering actionable guidance on skill-building, differentiation, and navigating cybersecurity careers. Beyond conferences, I have appeared on the Distilled Security Podcast, where I discussed how deploying specialised, small language models locally can significantly improve efficiency, reduce operational friction, and make AI-assisted security workflows more practical and trustworthy.
