From 1986 – 1991 he attended the University of South Florida and obtained Bachelors, Masters, and Doctorate Degrees in computer science. His research activity focused on artificial intelligence and machine learning. Specifically, combining different fields to create hybrid learning systems (i.e., fuzzy logic, explainable neural networks).

The next stop in his corporate career brought him to Analytical Services of Crystal City, Washington as chief scientist for developing evolutionary inspired software agents to help identify missing and exploited children on the Internet. In 2000, he left the corporate employment world for good and acted as a founder of several new companies: Security Online Services, MobileTimes, MobileTimesToday, and Revelation Engine. 40 years of work finally led to the development of the immersive machine intelligence – 124C41 -, whose book of collected short stories you are now about to read.

Universal Hanbook of Near ELE - The Day the Tar Gave Away
"The Universal Handbook of Near ELE" marks the launch of a thrilling new series that intertwines science fiction with real-world facts, exclusively from Romaniuk Publishing. This collection examines how everyday natural and anthropogenic extreme events can rapidly escalate into near Extinction Level Events (ELEs), propelled by the butterfly effect inherent in chaos theory. The series kicks off with the volume titled "The Day the Tar Gave Away." Extinction-level events (ELEs) are monumental disasters that can cause a significant decline or even the complete extinction of species on Earth, often impacting a large segment of the planet's biodiversity. These events can be triggered by various natural occurrences, including volcanic eruptions, asteroid impacts, climate change, or shifts in sea levels. A well-known example is the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event, which happened roughly 66 million years ago, believed to have been caused by a gigantic asteroid impact that led to the extinction of the dinosaurs and numerous other species. Such catastrophic events can drastically reshape ecosystems, disrupt food chains, and set the stage for profound evolutionary shifts.
