Abigail Borja es AI Engineer ecuatoriana de 27 años, miembro del Centro de Excelencia de Inteligencia Artificial en Argentina y punta de lanza en la implementación de tecnología Google en América Latina.
Ha desarrollado MVPs de ciencia de datos e inteligencia artificial directamente para Google, y desplegado agentes LLM, sistemas RAG, agentes de voz e infraestructura MLOps en producción para empresas de talla mundial como ARM (Apple), Walmart, Santander, AFP, CGC Petrolera, Akzonobel y Friesland Campina — en sectores que van desde energía y finanzas hasta logística, retail y salud.
Hoy co-funda proyectos de implementación de tecnología temprana con agéntica en el transporte Ecuatoriano, llevando inteligencia artificial a una industria que mueve millones de personas cada día.
Pero quizás el proyecto más cercano a su corazón es el que esta construyendo junto a su esposo — docente galardonado con dos premios de inclusión de la ciudad de Buenos Aires por su trabajo con niños sordomudos y con discapacidades. Juntos están diseñando programas de robótica e inteligencia artificial para los más pequeños, inspirados en su propia hija. Su visión es clara y necesaria: que la inteligencia artificial sea un ambiente seguro, inclusivo y estimulante para el desarrollo de los niños.
Ha sido en múltiples ocasiones la única mujer en equipos técnicos de alto rendimiento. Lejos de ser un obstáculo, eso la convirtió en pionera. Es fiel creyente del poder transformador de las mujeres en tecnología — porque sabe por experiencia propia lo que significa abrirse paso en espacios que no fueron diseñados para ellas.
Próxima mamá, mochilera empedernida y soñadora sin límites. Su destino soñado: implementar inteligencia artificial para la NASA.
Abigail construye código, construye empresas, construye futuro — y lo hace con una convicción que no negocia ex dragona:
"Si lo sueñas, es posible. No hay recetas mágicas — solo constancia, disciplina y resiliencia."

I experienced life as an immigrant when I lived in South Korea, and I remember the confusing anger I felt toward South Koreans when I experienced culture shock. I thought I was a good person and I couldn’t understand why I was so angry and frustrated. I was trying so hard to make Korean friends, but I didn’t feel comfortable talking to Koreans about certain questions about their culture that made me confused and frustrated. I had so many questions. Explain bowing. How do you know which verb tense to use with which people? How do I know if I did something offensive? Where can I go to learn more about Korean culture? I didn’t have a comfortable place to ask my questions, and I thought I should just ignore the confused feelings and keep trying.

I didn’t get any cultural orientation or training when I lived abroad. When I eventually returned home, I went through intense reverse culture shock. I questioned my values, my identity, and my cultural programming. That’s when I started studying cultural differences and cultural intelligence. From this moment, everything changed. I realized my struggle wasn't a personal failure. It was cultural misunderstanding.

It wasn’t that I wasn’t trying hard enough. It was that no one had explained the deeper rules shaping how people connect in South Korea.
That experience is why I care so deeply about helping immigrants feel comfortable and confident in the American workplace. They bring a great deal of skills and experience into our workplaces, and oftentimes team effectiveness is hampered by simple, predictable cultural misunderstandings.

Since returning from South Korea 20 years ago, I’ve intentionally built my life around cross-cultural engagement. I have worked, volunteered, or built friendships with people from more than 30 countries. I’ve seen patterns repeat across cultures. I've seen similar misunderstandings, similar frustrations. It’s not just theory to me, it’s personal and I’ve lived it. I don’t view cultural challenges as personality flaws. I see them as predictable outcomes when people are navigating invisible cultural rules without orientation.

I hold a Master of Public Administration (MPA), which trained me to think about cultural challenges inside larger systems, including universities, workplaces, and communities. Cultural struggles don’t happen in a vacuum. They happen inside places of work and within social norms that were not designed to explain themselves. This

I am certified by the Cultural Intelligence Center to debrief cultural intelligence assessments, and I am a doctoral student in the Communication Studies at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.

I help people understand cultural differences and how to connect across them. Because we won't be able to deal with our world's big problems without addressing our differences.

Mostafa Elkoumy is the Founder & CEO of Uraeus LLC & VxLabs GmbH, an automotive cybersecurity supplier building the Uraeus product family. Uraeus connects development-time
cybersecurity engineering (CSMS execution, TARA, SBOM & supply-chain risk, compliance evidence) with operational security (monitoring, incident workflows, and VSOC/XDR integrations that enable OEMs and suppliers to run a traceable, auditable, and scalable cybersecurity lifecycle aligned with ISO/SAE 21434 and UNECE R155.

With 15+ years in the automotive ecosystem across Tier-1 and Tier-2 environments, Mostafa has worked hands-on across AUTOSAR, vehicle software delivery, OTA update pipelines, and modern E/E architecture trends (HPCs and zonal). His focus is practical execution: turning security requirements, engineering artifacts, and operational telemetry into workflows that teams can actually run—without drowning in spreadsheets and fragmented tools.

Mostafa is deeply engaged with the automotive security and SDV community through forums and ecosystems such as COVESA, ASRG (Automotive Security Research Group), Auto-ISAC, and Eclipse SDV, where the industry aligns on interoperability, threat intelligence sharing, and real-world security learnings.

He regularly speaks about software-defined vehicles (SDV), security-by-design vs. security-by-evidence, operationalizing CSMS at scale, and how AI and knowledge graphs can accelerate consistency, traceability, and decision-making across the vehicle security stack.

My experience spans over 25 years of engineering in the public, financial and telecoms sectors. I am an Agile Fundamentalist and AppSec Snooper. The principles of the agile manifesto form the basis of good practices. It boils down to lots of common sense, small steps, learning along the way, not writing code that nobody will want or need and taking processes and procedures with a pinch of salt.

I want to make security more approachable and more pragmatic, more agile. The only way to deal with a deluge of vulnerabilities, bad practices copied from StackOverflow or hallucinated by an LLM is to bring security together with development.

Recently, I’ve become a head of engineering, where I swapped working with code to working with people. That suits me fine as I’ve bastardised the 80:20 rule: Software engineering is 80% social and only 20% technical.
