Born in Kindu on September 9, 1999, Gilbert Bemwiz discovered computing at the age of 14 through mobile video games. What started as curiosity slowly became a strong interest in technology, experimentation, and digital systems. Although he had good abilities in mathematics, he chose to study Commercial Informatics because of his passion for computers.

As a teenager, he spent a lot of time experimenting with phones, software, and digital tools, sometimes even damaging devices while trying to understand how they worked. After graduating in 2017, he joined the first cohort of MAPON University in Computer Engineering. Feeling that classroom learning alone was not enough, he spent many hours learning independently in the computer lab, exploring programming, networks, artificial intelligence, and system design.

In 2019, he co-created “Busoga,” a local social network project built in response to the lack of digital platforms adapted to local realities. In 2021, his “Intelligent Virtual Ophthalmologist” project received an innovation award. While working on this healthcare AI project, he faced a major difficulty: the lack of medical datasets adapted to the Congolese context. This experience pushed him to think more deeply about how intelligent systems could still be developed in environments with limited data and resources. These reflections later contributed to the idea he calls “Tradition Learning.”

In December 2025, during DevFest Lubumbashi, Gilbert presented Tradition Learning publicly. The discussions that followed led to the creation of the Tradition Learning Community (TLC), bringing together developers, mathematicians, programmers, and technology enthusiasts interested in exploring practical approaches to AI in low-resource environments.

Alongside his technical work, Gilbert began publishing articles and reflections on intelligent systems, autonomous agents, and applied AI for constrained environments. His interests gradually expanded beyond artificial intelligence alone toward broader questions involving infrastructure, digital accessibility, operational systems, and technological inclusion.

During travels across the Katanga region, including Kolwezi, Likasi, and Kasumbalesa, he became increasingly aware that many African challenges go beyond AI itself. For him, one of the main issues is technological isolation: access to infrastructure, connectivity, stable systems, and operational environments capable of supporting innovation. This experience strengthened his interest in enterprise infrastructure, monitoring systems, and industrial environments.

In 2026, he joined SOMAF Group SARL in Lubumbashi, where he became involved in technical and operational environments linked to critical infrastructure and industrial systems. At the same time, through his experience at Neotex.ai and other applied projects, he continues exploring practical approaches to intelligent systems adapted to African realities.

Today, Gilbert Bemwiz works at the intersection of artificial intelligence, infrastructure, monitoring systems, and operational challenges, with a growing interest in building technological ecosystems adapted to constrained and evolving environments.

The thing I do best is make people believe something matters. Not through slides or persuasion tactics, but because I actually believe it, and I've done the work to back it up. I've done it in boardrooms and on conference stages, in middle school classrooms and in conversations with people who needed someone to tell them the truth. When I care about something, I can make you care about it too. Thirty years of making sure I only pick things worth caring about.

I was an Amiga 500 kid setting up school computer labs in middle school, writing JavaScript browser exploits in 9th grade (1996, the year Netscape shipped JavaScript), and disclosing injection vulnerabilities on live sites at fourteen.

Two decades of defense, enterprise, and cloud since then. I supported USCENTCOM, advised CENTCOM hunt teams, built as a Principal Architect at SAIC, conceived a cloud simulation program everyone said was impossible (it won Program of the Quarter), and spent nearly three years as a Staff Security Consultant at AWS. I hacked a satellite under AFRL authorization, formed SAIC's first Hack-A-Sat team (top 3% of 3,700), and placed 2nd individually in the LaunchDotCom space hacking challenge.

Today I serve concurrently as Chief Technical Strategist, Chief Engineer, and the first SAIC Research Fellow focused on AI/ML for cybersecurity. I earned it through original research on AI-driven tabletop exercises and adversarial emulation, and I'm now productizing the result.

When large language models became the infrastructure that matters, I went deep. Not at the API level. At the model layer. Refusal mechanisms, representation engineering, weight-level behavior manipulation. I built a talk on LLM abliteration with a 3D visualizer and interactive demos because a slide deck wasn't enough.

SANS/GIAC Advisory Board, 2015. IEEE Senior Member, 2020, top 10% globally. CISSP-ISSAP, AWS Solutions Architect Professional, AWS Security Specialty.

Since 2021 I've led BSides Tampa, one of the top three BSides conferences globally, from 775 to 2,000+ participants.

I've supported the EFF for over a decade. I evangelize AI safety, privacy, and the ethical obligations of engineers. They're why I do this work.

The question I keep coming back to: what happens when AI systems act autonomously, make decisions at scale, and operate where failure has human consequences? That intersection of adversarial security, AI safety, and the ethics of how technology shapes human lives is where the most important problems live. I bring people with me when I go after them.
