Senay is the chief executive of a cybersecurity software company and an early advocate of agentic AI, recognizing its potential well before the concept entered the mainstream. He was among the first to articulate the power of modern AI assistants — including Claude — for software development, quickly translating that conviction into working systems rather than abstractions.
As a demonstration of this approach, he produced and shared a proof-of-concept asset-register application named “SOD” (Software on Demand). That proof-of-concept reportedly helped inspire a fellow member's software company — with input from member Sabina Z. Khan — to restructure around a lean “guerilla” AI team, an experiment described as highly successful to date.
He is also credited with reshaping how legacy insurance companies determine premiums for complex re-insurance schemes using AI. His blend of practical engineering, security expertise, and applied AI reflects the SMART America Institute's mission to advance the responsible, real-world deployment of emerging technologies for the public good.
