Jahmai Lay

Jahmai is one of CriticalArc’s founding Directors, it’s Chief Technology Officer, and the architect and technical visionary of SafeZone. Upon earning his Computer Science degree at University of Wollongong in Secure Distributed Systems, Jahmai’s career began building stock market trading analytical software, and then evolved to Honeywell where he helped design, integrate and deliver complex, digital CCTV surveillance systems. These efforts made him eminently suited to create and develop software to transform the security sector. Jahmai is no stranger to cutting edge technology and always adopts a ‘what-if’ attitude toward problem solving, considering new innovative solutions instead of just following the well-travelled path. Jahmai is a staunch privacy advocate and always seeks to ensure that data is collected and processed ethically, as well as transferred and stored as securely as possible.

Whether its achieving top of his class at university, scaling transaction rates into the billions on a stock market auditing platform, or forgoing weekends to ensure SafeZone is the best it can be, Jahmai’s passion and commitment to technology and delivering products that customers value stands apart.

Outside of work, Jahmai considers himself an avid gamer and computer hobbyst. When not in front of a screen, you’ll find Jahmai hanging out with his family, friends, or catching up on some valuable rest.
