Background

About Steven Cummings

With nearly three decades of experience spanning telecommunications, software engineering, and cybersecurity, I have cultivated a unique skill set at the intersection of these fields. As a Vice President of Operations and Co-Founder, I've played a key role in the design, implementation, and maintenance of critical transport and data networks, as well as the development of our SmokeNet secure networking technology, driving the success of our company through innovative solutions and strategic leadership. My expertise primarily lies in the realm of software development, particularly in contributing the creation and maintenance of groundbreaking technologies like SmokeNet, our flagship cybersecurity solution. This innovative network technology stands at the forefront of our efforts to safeguard network integrity and data security. In tandem, I've actively engaged my entrepreneurial drive to pursue and secure funding for government initiatives, successfully crafting and submitting applications to Federal Government opportunities. These endeavors have been pivotal in propelling our mission forward, with SmokeNet emerging as a leading cybersecurity technology in our arsenal. Additionally, I have leveraged my skills, contributing to developing and maintaining patented technologies, such as PUMAS, a distributed computing framework aimed at enhancing the reliability and performance of networked systems. Throughout my career, I've been committed to minimizing the potential for human error on critical systems and networks, recognizing the profound impact that outages can have on emergency services, financial markets, and government communications. By developing software simulators and automating processes, I've contributed to projects that have significantly increased the reliability and integrity of global telecommunications networks. My journey began with exposure to computers and programming at an early age, laying the foundation for my success as a technologist. Today, I continue to be driven by a passion for innovation and a dedication to pushing the boundaries of the possibilities of technology. I am a co-inventor on three patents with others pending.
