A Computer Scientist with expansive conceptual abilities in Information Security.

Joseph S R de Saram has significant expertise in the fields of Information Security Architecture, Intelligence Analysis and Digital Forensics. Areas of specialisation include the conceptualisation and design of wide area distributed systems, advanced neural networks, and strong cryptographics. Proven thought leadership, business development and technical mindset have evolved over thirty years.

Proficient, hardworking and focussed, Joseph is able to optimise and greatly enhance existing methodologies by extremely rapid assimilation of new material and modification of structured procedures. He achieves organisational competency through enforcing tough deadlines and rationalisation, and motivating co-workers to optimum efficiency.

Furthermore Joseph’s successful management of clandestine operations from design to delivery in terms of confidentiality, integrity and availability have led to significant improvements in the quality and performance of Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) aspects.

Objective

To provide robust intellect to Aerospace & Defense contracting organisations (including under limited access authorizations) within extremely challenging environments, which demand neoteric solutions.
Strong engineering acumen must be a prerequisite, with few limits to remuneration.

QUOTES

The person who sacrifices information security for freedom deserves neither.
I like to be ahead of the curve, especially if it is Hyperelliptic.
When I’m doing well, my friends know who I am. When things are bad I know who my friends are.
Most people wait for it to happen – I prefer to ‘Make I.T. Happen’.
Sure there is no ‘I’ in ‘teamwork’ but there is one in ‘genius’, and also one in ‘rich’.
‘State of the Art’ depends greatly on the ability of the artist.
Everybody is so talented nowadays that the only people I care to honour, as deserving real distinction, are those who harness encryption.
Many people dream small and then get surprised when big things don’t happen for them.

Regardless of what I am playing, my music will never be appreciated when the audience is deaf.
Trying hard to win is not the same thing as avoiding defeat.
I’m not interested in just any answers, I want the right answers.
Most people associate ‘red for hot’ and ‘blue for cold’ – when a flame is blue, it is generally hotter than a red flame, so what do they say then?
Most battles are won logically in the mind, before the physical battle even starts on the field.
I have always encouraged my peers to ‘push the envelope’ but when ‘licking the envelope’ is too challenging, then you know you will have admin problems.
‘Finishing in 2nd position’ is just a fancy phrase for ‘being thrashed’.
Two heads ARE better than one, particularly if one of them is mine.

I always aspire to perfection, as there is no limit as to what perfection could be.
I don’t suffer fools gladly – I get pissed off like everyone else.
I don’t waste time drowning in other people’s stupidity, when there are so many things that can be achieved with a brilliant mind.
Many people say ‘the glass is half full’; many say ‘the glass is half empty’. Only a few of us ask ‘What’s actually in the glass?’.
When it comes to financial matters, I prefer to follow the best strategy and lose money, than listen to mediocre advice and get mediocre results.
First the people refused martial law, then the people requested martial law, now the people demand martial law.
The worst thing about being a genius is that most people aren’t smart enough to understand.
When making a critical decision, I would always be prepared to seek forgiveness afterwards, than obtain permission before.

SFIA 8 INFOTECH EXPERIENCE

SFIA describes skills and competencies required by professionals in roles involved in information and communication technologies, digital transformation and software engineering. SFIA was formally launched in 2000 and its provenance can be traced back to the 1980s and a number of collaborative skills and competency projects. These led to the SFIA Framework and the formation of the SFIA Foundation which has become an international not-for-profit organisation that now brings together the global community to develop and maintain the SFIA Framework for the benefit of all.

SFIA has become the globally accepted common language for the skills and competencies related to information and communication technologies, digital transformation and software engineering.SFIA remains a collaboration – it has been regularly updated through a global open consultation process. People with real practical experience of developing and managing skills/competencies in corporate, public sector and educational environments from all around the world, contribute to ensuring SFIA remains relevant and true. It is built by industry and business for industry and business.

It is these components that set SFIA apart from other frameworks and has resulted in its adoption by governments, corporates and individuals in almost 200 countries. Its unique and ongoing success can also be attributed to:
