About the Author

Dr. Steve G. Romaniuk is an American computer scientist born 1963 on Long Island, New York City, NY. Dr. Romaniuk enjoyed early careers in high-school as a Science Fiction author, where he published more than a dozen short stories and co-authored a novel (1980 – 1982, German language). A second career during this period involved creating technical drawings, which were also published in speculative magazines. From 1983 – 1984 he started a third career as a video game developer, porting arcade games and creating novel games for home computers of the time. From 1986 – 1991 he attended the University of South Florida and obtained Bachelors, Masters, and Doctorate Degrees in computer science. His research activity focused on artificial intelligence and machine learning. Specifically, combining different fields to create hybrid learning systems (i.e., fuzzy logic, explainable neural networks). His research concentrations have also focused on mathematics (probability theory) and cognitive psychology. After receiving his doctoral degree, he worked as a research assistant for USF, as a consultant for Wright-Paterson Air Force Base, and finally for the National University of Singapore as a researcher and teacher.

1995 he ended his academic career, after having published more than sixty peer-reviewed scientific articles over a period of six years. In 1995, he founded his first computer company Universal Problem Solvers, Inc. A few years later, he joined Rockwell International as a technical lead developing the body-worn Trekker computer with head-mounted display and speech enabled I/O. The next stop in his corporate career brought him to Analytical Services of Crystal City, Washington as chief scientist for developing evolutionary inspired software agents to help identify missing and exploited children on the Internet. In 2000, he left the corporate employment world for good and acted as a founder of several new companies: Security Online Services, MobileTimes, MobileTimesToday, and Revelation Engine. 40 years of work finally led to the development of the immersive machine intelligence – 124C41 -, whose book of collected short stories you are now about to read. In 2023, he retired and started writing his memoirs.
