Currently pursuing an MSc in AI and Data Science, her research focuses on AI safety, alignment, and the societal implications of emerging technologies.

Recognised with accolades including Security Specialist of the Year and Cybersecurity Personality of the Year, she also champions diversity and inclusion in tech through community initiatives, publications, and her award-winning podcast Compromising Positions. Exploring how culture shapes cybersecurity through the lense of anthropology, psychology, philosophy and behavioural science. The show has become a platform for challenging assumptions, amplifying diverse voices, and reframing security as a deeply human issue rather than a purely technical one.

Paweł Siwek

Paweł Siwek

I’ve been in the IT trenches for over 20 years, but it all started back in 1993 with Turbo Pascal on a 286 AT for a primary school project. Luckily, I eventually upgraded to a 486 DX2, which finally let me run Doom and Heroes of Might and Magic :D.

Since then, I’ve walked the full path: from SysAdmin and .NET Dev to Architect, DevOps, and even a 2-year stint as a CTO in a fintech startup. For the last 4 years, I’ve been a Product Architect at Dynatrace, where I focus on making AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud observability signals actually work for people, not against them.

Outside of work and family, I’m all about "home-keeping" – managing both the physical systems in my garden and the digital ones powered by Home Assistant. If there’s any time left: I’m traveling. The further, the better. :)
