Adam is a professional computer scientist and software engineer, specializing in network protocols, security, and application development, with an additional interest in Natural Language Processing. Adam published the results of his research on data-flow analysis before being awarded a BA with high honors in Computer Science from the University of Florida in 1994. Adam then spent time designing and testing software for police, military and firefighter “walkie-talkies” in Motorola’s Land Mobile Products Sector facility in Plantation, Florida before being awarded the MICRO fellowship to begin PhD work at UCLA in 1996. At UCLA, Adam “majored” in Artificial Intelligence with a “minor” in Networking. While studying at UCLA, Adam had several more publications in the areas of multicast-enabled wide-area searching, and content-dissemination network concepts while receiving DARPA funding for simultaneous research into Adaptive Web Caching and protocols for collaborative, distributed nano-scale sensor networks with military applications. In 2000 Adam left UCLA to commercialize his work on Adaptive Web Caching, founding a company, Silvan Networks, in Mountainview, CA. Adam co-authored five U.S. patents while at Silvan and the company was quick to gain funding from Sequoia Capital, growing to nearly seventy employees before the difficulties of 2002 disrupted their customer base (ISPs). Adam then joined tech startup Caymas Systems in Petaluma to take an architectural role in the development of their line of security appliances, where he helped define the product and also developed application-level translators to secure arbitrary web-enabled applications.
