January 26, 2026 — Cybersecurity is more than just acquiring certifications or deploying tools like WAF, MFA, or endpoint protection. It is a dynamic and interconnected ecosystem that spans people, processes, technology, and culture. In an era shaped by rapid advances in AI and quantum computing, understanding how this ecosystem functions is essential for anyone working in the tech industry.

This session offers a strategic overview of the global cybersecurity ecosystem—deconstructing its essential layers, key stakeholders, and the evolving threat landscape. It will explore:

– The Layers of Cybersecurity: From individual device protection to organizational resilience and national cyber defense
– Key Stakeholders: The roles of governments, private enterprises, ethical hackers, regulators, and international alliances
– Ecosystem Dynamics: How regulation, innovation, data flows, and threat intelligence interact across sectors
– Contextual Challenges: Why cybersecurity maturity differs across regions and how local socio-economic realities shape risk
– Opportunities for Engagement: How developers, entrepreneurs, educators, and tech communities can contribute to a safer digital world

I believe that each of us—whether we are developers, founders, policymakers, or digital advocates—has a role to play in building a secure technological ecosystem. In a world where digital systems influence every aspect of our lives, cybersecurity can no longer be seen as someone else’s responsibility. This session encourages participants to think systemically, recognize their unique capacity to contribute, and reimagine cybersecurity as a shared foundation for the digital future we all depend on.

August 10, 2023 — WordPress’s wide spectrum of usage ranges from powering the most sophisticated websites like The New York Times to providing an easy-to-use digital presence for local small and medium-sized businesses all over the world. With countless options for ready-to-use themes and plugin libraries, WordPress is undoubtedly one of the best platforms for creating amazing websites. However, sometimes the same cookie-cutter design and functional restrictions imposed by WordPress themes and plugins can degrade the user experience of a website.
Every website caters to a unique audience and, hence, requires careful consideration and a user-centered approach for acing the architecture, design, and content that best match user needs. In this talk, we will discuss how we can use the base frameworks of Design Thinking, i.e., Empathetic User Research, Framing (and Re-Framing) User Problems, Ideation, Prototyping & Testing, and Periodic Modification to build an intuitive and functional website that matches user intent.
