I'm a Senior Software Architect working on agentic AI systems in healthcare diagnostics. Most of my time is spent figuring out how to make large language models play nice with enterprise security requirements—especially when those models need to access patient data across chat, voice, and SMS channels.

Before diving into AI, I built developer experience tools and led engineering teams where I learned that the hard problems are rarely about the technology itself. They're about making complex systems work reliably when real people depend on them.

I've been deep in the Model Context Protocol (MCP) world lately, building servers that let AI agents interact securely with backend systems. That work surfaced a lot of messy authentication challenges that don't have clean answers in the OAuth specs. My talk comes from those real-world battle scars.

Mark Bouzyk is a biotechnology executive and scientist with a career built across academic research, pharmaceutical development, and biotechnology innovation. His work has consistently focused on genetics, genomics, precision medicine, pharmacogenomics, oncology, and digital health. With formal training in biochemistry and human molecular genetics, he developed a structured and careful approach to scientific inquiry. Throughout his career, he has remained grounded in the idea that science should be practical, ethical, and beneficial to patients, researchers, and healthcare systems, rather than driven solely by recognition or complexity.

Mark began his professional path in academic research, where he worked as a research officer studying the molecular and genetic mechanisms underlying viral drug resistance. His early responsibilities involved examining how genetic variation influences biological structure, function, and treatment response. He later supported cancer research efforts by applying foundational molecular biology techniques to studies of cellular signaling and growth regulation. During this time, he also contributed to large collaborative genome-mapping projects, gaining experience in coordinated research, data-intensive analysis, and cross-institutional scientific teamwork.

Mark Bouzyk later moved into the pharmaceutical industry, where he held senior scientific roles focused on genetic technologies and laboratory science. He established and managed critical research infrastructure, supported innovation in genetics, and earned recognition for consistent scientific contributions. As his scope expanded, he led integrated genetics organizations, developed high-throughput genotyping operations, and implemented global systems for genetic sample and data management. He oversaw teams, budgets, and quality processes while supporting pharmacogenetic and disease-association studies that informed safer, more reliable drug development.

Bouzyk advanced into leadership roles with broader strategic responsibility, overseeing discovery projects across international research locations.
