How has IEEE helped you in your career journey?

IEEE has supported me throughout my journey from my bachelor’s in electronics and telecommunication to my master’s in computer networking, and across every shift in my professional path. As I moved from network security to cloud security then into microservice development, multi-cloud, AI-driven automation and observability, IEEE helped me stay current and learn faster. Reviewing conference papers, organizing sessions and attending technical talks has expanded both my knowledge and my network. It’s also given me a chance to give back especially in areas like cloud, security and AI. Over time, IEEE has played a solid role in my growth and is a trusted platform to give back.

What’s the hottest technology in the next 10 years?

I think the hottest technologies in the next 10 years will be AI, quantum computing and sustainable tech. These three will not only transform industries but also boost space exploration and robotics in a big way. As small language models become smarter and more efficient, robotics are advancing fast. I believe humanoid robots will play a key role, especially in exploration and environments that are difficult for humans like deep space missions. At the same time, quantum computing will help solve problems we can’t touch with classical systems and AI will keep pushing boundaries so the real excitement is in how these technologies work together to shape the future.
