Data & AI Expert at SE-Link, where the focus is making AI dependable enough to act inside real engineering projects - plant lines, infrastructure, and industrial automation. The throughline of the work is neurosymbolic: pairing language models with sound symbolic verification on top of Neo4j knowledge graphs, so autonomous actions are bounded by proof and calibrated trust rather than probabilistic confidence.

This includes deterministic, provenance-bearing GraphRAG, bitemporal graph memory, and solver-gated multi-agent systems deployed against messy, multi-modal engineering data. Kani cares about the gap between impressive demos and systems you can actually put near a factory floor, and enjoys sharing the patterns and the hard-won mistakes - that close it

Tiara Jamison is the Founder and CEO of AnnieGuard, a causal intelligence company focused on understanding the hidden systems that drive biological threats, disease, environmental risk, and complex human outcomes.

Her work centers on a simple but powerful idea: events do not happen randomly. Whether the outcome is a disease diagnosis, a public health crisis, an environmental disaster, or a system failure, there are underlying causes that can be reconstructed from the data that already exists.

Drawing on experience across Microsoft, Google, and Amazon, Tiara combines systems thinking, threat detection principles, artificial intelligence, and biological research to help organizations move beyond prediction and toward understanding why events happen.

After losing her mother, Annie, to sarcoma, Tiara founded AnnieGuard to challenge conventional approaches to disease detection and risk assessment. Today, her work explores how causal intelligence can be applied across healthcare, biological security, environmental systems, public safety, and critical infrastructure.

Tiara speaks on causal intelligence, biological and environmental threats, systems failure, healthcare innovation, artificial intelligence, entrepreneurship, resilience, and the future of decision-making in complex environments.
