Special Feature: Meet Lucas Farmer, Dublin High School student and creator of REPAIR.
REPAIR is an AI-powered car diagnostics app designed to help everyday drivers understand and fix vehicle issues without relying unnecessarily on expensive mechanics. By connecting to a low-cost OBD-II scanner, REPAIR translates complex diagnostic trouble codes into simple, easy-to-understand language and provides step-by-step DIY repair guidance when possible. The app uses AI to analyze vehicle data, suggest the most likely fixes based on the car model and history, and recommend whether a repair can be done at home or requires a professional. REPAIR increases transparency, saves users money, and empowers car owners with clear, trustworthy automotive insights, all in one affordable and user-friendly platform.
A little bit about our entrepreneurs: “My name is Oliver Merham, and I am a junior at Dublin High School who aspires to pursue a career in aerospace or mechanical engineering, inspired by a lifelong fascination with rockets and space. I plan to reach this goal by maintaining strong academics, participating in extracurricular activities, and attending a prestigious university to gain hands-on experience in the field. His perseverance, determination, and strong work ethic are evident through projects like a paper rocket, participation in the Engineering Entrepreneurial Design Competition, and completion of selective programs such as ROAR Academy and the PJTF Aerospace Course. Through internships, jobs, and clubs, I have developed key skills, including time management, communication, teamwork, and problem-solving, preparing me to contribute to the future of space exploration.”
Daniel Merham is a junior specializing in mechatronics engineering and a member of the REPAIR team, where he contributes to the development of innovative automotive diagnostic solutions. His work focuses on transforming complex vehicle data into clear, actionable information that empowers everyday drivers. He has led the development of key software components for the REPAIR prototype, including an OBD-II diagnostic code library, conceptual user-interface models, and integrated repair guidance. Passionate about using engineering to create meaningful real-world impact, Daniel is driven to build accessible technologies that solve practical problems and improve people’s lives.
Session Two: Offense-Driven Defense – Horizon3.AI
Session Two: Join Tony Taylor, Senior Solutions Architect, for an engaging session on “Offense-Driven Defense.” Tony will challenge conventional risk assessment practices and unveil how focusing on real-world exploitability and impact can revolutionize your security approach. Drawing from insights gathered across more than 170,000 autonomous pen-tests, he’ll share compelling stories and actionable lessons that show how viewing your cyber terrain through an attacker’s lens can uncover hidden vulnerabilities, optimize resource allocation, and strengthen your defenses against advanced threats. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn from a leading industry practitioner on why it’s time to “go hack yourself” and build resilience in today’s borderless threat environment.
Horizon3.ai: Provides NodeZero, an autonomous penetration testing platform. It continuously assesses an organization’s internal and external attack surface, automatically discovers exploitable weaknesses, and verifies vulnerabilities without human intervention. By rigorously emulating real-world attacker behaviors and techniques, NodeZero identifies critical attack pathways and provides clear, actionable remediation steps to proactively strengthen security posture and continuously validate an organization’s defenses against evolving cyber threats, supporting a continuous security validation program.
