Olayiwola Akinnagbe

Olayiwola Akinnagbe

Olayiwola Akinnagbe is a Senior Backend Engineer and AI researcher working at the intersection of financial technology, distributed systems, and intelligent human–AI collaboration. His work is guided by a clear conviction: systems should not merely function. They should scale, adapt, and strengthen the people who use them.

In the fintech sector, Olayiwola architects API-first, event-driven microservices that power payments, loan origination, and high-volume transaction platforms processing over one million API requests daily. He designs secure and resilient backend infrastructures using Java, Spring Boot, Kafka, and AWS. By applying CQRS principles, low-latency search optimization, and cloud-native deployment strategies, he consistently delivers measurable improvements in latency, throughput, and system reliability.

His contribution extends beyond engineering practice into scholarly research. He is the author of the peer-reviewed paper “Human–AI Collaboration: Enhancing Productivity and Decision-Making,” where he reframed artificial intelligence not as automation, but as cognitive partnership. His work examines how humans and intelligent systems can intentionally distribute cognitive responsibility while preserving human agency. This framework has been recognized for its clarity in explaining productivity acceleration and hybrid decision-making models.

Olayiwola holds a Master’s degree in Information Technology, graduating in the top five percent of his class, with research focused on machine learning–based malware detection. His broader publications span AI in finance, cybersecurity, federated learning, and predictive modeling for risk management. This combination of production engineering and academic inquiry enables him to translate theoretical insight into secure, deployable, and economically sound systems.

An AWS Certified Solutions Architect and Developer, he is committed to building architectures that are secure by design, resilient under pressure, and optimized for real-world constraints. He mentors engineers, contributes to technical scholarship, and speaks on system design, fintech infrastructure, and the evolving discipline of human–AI collaborative intelligence.

For Olayiwola, technology is not only about writing code. It is about designing systems that expand human capability while preserving judgment, responsibility, and trust.

Fabio Borges Monteiro

Fabio Borges Monteiro

A biologist by training, teacher, and specialist in data and agility. With 20 years of experience at Petrobras, I moved through field operations, management, and environment until focusing, from 2019 onward, on agile methodologies (Scrum, Kanban, Lean Inception) and innovation.

My true passion is Design Thinking, especially Design Flow—a methodology I specialized in to bridge the gap between human-centered problem exploration and agile product delivery. My work combines the empathy of this design approach with the pragmatism of Data Analysis, using Power BI to support decisions and validate discoveries.

Today, I work in the HSE management team for E&P, designing new corporate processes focused on driving value for the company and caring for people. In the classroom or on stage, I transform this background of real-world cases into practical, accessible learning for professionals looking to manage processes and businesses in a modern way.

Shelly Thomas

Shelly Thomas

Shelly Thomas, PE, MBA is the founder of Building Beta and one of the few Copilot strategists who has actually run the operations she now teaches executives to transform.

Her career spans 20+ years across oil and gas, manufacturing, and industrial distribution, managing Fortune 500 relationships at Morton Salt's Industrial Division and directing global eCommerce operations at Chart Industries. She brings that same operational accountability into every training room.

Her programs are built for leaders who are time-starved, skeptical, and responsible for outcomes their boards can measure. The goal isn't to make executives into power users, it's to make them the kind of leader who spreads AI capability across their entire organization. The teams who go through her programs become the most valuable resource in the building. That's what she designs for.

Shelly serves on the UAA College of Engineering Advisory Board, co-chairs Alaska's Women in Engineering Advisory Board, and co-hosts the Breaking Frozen Ground podcast on engineering careers in Alaska. She is based in Alaska, and she operates exactly where you'd expect someone called the Copilot Strategist on the Last Frontier to operate.

Mon parcours mélange coaching agile, coaching pro et transformation organisationnelle. J’aime creuser ce qui permet (ou empêche) une transformation de vraiment prendre, au-delà des frameworks et des bonnes intentions. J’utilise des modèles comme l’Analyse Transactionnelle, la systémique ou le Solution Focus pour aider les organisations à dépasser leurs blocages et à créer un changement qui tient dans le temps.

À travers mes conférences, j’aime à partager des clés concrètes et des retours d’expérience sur la transformation des organisations, sans bullshit ni recette magique, mais avec des leviers actionnables dès demain basé sur l'approche Tete/Coeur/Corps, l'analyse transactionnelle et l'approche systémique.
