Steve Romaniuk

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 (http://stevegromaniuk.com).
