Mayowa Olokun

Mayowa Olokun

Mayowa is a cloud data practitioner and machine learning engineer with over 6 years
of hands-on experience designing, securing, and scaling data infrastructure across some of the most demanding environments in finance, retail, healthcare, and technology, with clients and institutions spanning the United Kingdom and beyond.

What sets Mayowa apart is a rare ability to operate fluently across the full data stack, from raw ingestion and pipeline architecture to predictive modelling and executive-level insight delivery while keeping security and data integrity at the centre of every decision. This is not a perspective borrowed from textbooks; it is earned from building real-time fraud detection systems, hardening cloud analytics platforms, and leading cross-functional teams through complex, high-stakes data transformations.

Currently with Amdari in the United Kingdom, Mayowa works with global clients across banking, retail, and technology to design ML pipelines and cloud data architectures that are production-ready, scalable, and resilient. Previous roles at Vista Technologies and Classic Systems Infotech reinforced a career-long conviction that the greatest risk in any data system is not what you know is broken, it is what you have silently trusted without question.

Mayowa holds an MSc in Automation, Control and Robotics from Sheffield Hallam
University (UK), is a certified Full Stack Data Science practitioner, and has contributed to peer-reviewed research in intelligent systems and applied machine learning. As a former academic who supervised AI research and delivered university-level instruction in Python, SQL, and data engineering, Mayowa brings a clarity of communication to technically complex topics that makes them accessible, urgent,
and immediately applicable.

A firm believer that security is everyone's problem and data is everyone's responsibility, Mayowa brings to BSides Brighton a talk that challenges the audience to stop trusting their pipelines and start proving them.

Ilya Sapelkin

Ilya Sapelkin

I sit at the intersection of industrial engineering and data science - and that overlap is where the interesting problems live.
For seven years I built and commissioned the systems that generate industrial data: private LTE/5G networks, automated LHD and manipulator control, low-latency Wi-Fi roaming (50ms handover), and IIoT telemetry across the Udachny and Komsomolsky mines. I know what the sensors mean, why the readings lie, and where the operational risk actually sits - context most analysts never get near.
Now I'm turning that domain knowledge into decisions. Completing a Master of Data Science (ECU, 2026).
The gap between OT and IT is where most industrial data projects quietly fail. I've worked both sides. That's what I bring.

Mauricio Licul

Mauricio Licul

Mauricio Licul (1979) is the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the technology company Quirk d.o.o. based in Pula, and the Head of Research and Development (R&D) at Novatec New Technologies headquartered in Labin, Croatia.
Licul has deep engineering, political, and data-science experience, uniquely combining artificial intelligence (AI), natural language processing (NLP), and media analytics. As a former political figure and prominent candidate for mayor of Pula, he possesses an intuitive, firsthand understanding of public communication, public sentiment, and media dynamics. By merging this practical political background with cutting-edge data technologies, he has specialized in extracting actionable insights and deep strategic metrics from vast streams of media data and public text.
He is the founder of DataFlip, an innovative venture focused on high-level NLP solutions. Licul has publicly presented the capabilities of his proprietary technology at major ICT events, such as the regional Let's Grow! conference in Pula, where he delivered a breakthrough session titled "How to recognize emotions in 10 TB of text" . Within DataFlip, Licul spearheaded the development of proprietary, in-house artificial intelligence models that combine machine learning, deep learning, and semantic analysis to detect and classify highly subtle emotional structures within massive, large-scale textual datasets.

Expanding on this foundation, Licul and his team at Quirk are currently developing even more advanced, next-generation models for semantic analysis, deep emotional interpretation, and complex text classification. A key competitive advantage and core differentiator of Quirk's models compared to foreign or mainstream big-tech solutions is their total infrastructure autonomy. By constructing the entire text-mining and semantic architecture completely from scratch without relying on external, third-party APIs, their models eliminate data-leakage risks, ensure total data privacy, and deliver significantly higher contextual accuracy tailored to regional linguistic nuances, complex idioms, and specific text data streams.
In his role at Novatec New Technologies, Licul oversees innovation and advanced technical ventures. Notably, he successfully led the IRI2 project "MUNIVO"—an innovative, low-floor electric vehicle developed in tight cooperation with the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture (FSB) and the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing (FER) in Zagreb, resulting in two fully functional prototypes. His broad knowledge base spans industrial automation, software development, deep learning, semantic text analysis, predictive analytics, and smart urban mobility.

Licul graduated with a degree in Electrical Engineering from the prestigious University of Padua (Università degli Studi di Padova) in Italy and earned his PhD (Doctorate) from the University of Trieste. He remains a prominent thought leader and speaker in the regional and national tech ecosystem, frequently participating in panels and lecturing on AI regulations, machine learning, and advanced data architecture.
