Dr. Muhammed Siraj is a cybersecurity specialist and academic with 15 years of experience, serving as Senior Lecturer in the Department of Informatics and Director of Graduate and Continuous Education at Academic City University in Accra. He holds a PhD in Security in Computing from Universiti Putra Malaysia, where his research focused on blockchain security, an MSc in Information and Communication Technology from Aalborg University in Denmark, and a degree from the University of Ghana. He is a licensed independent assessor with Ghana's Cyber Security Authority, holds leadership roles in national cybersecurity and privacy professional bodies, and is certified as a Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH), Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator (CHFI) and Certified Data Protection Supervisor (CDPS). Before joining Academic City, he served as Acting Director of ICT and Data Protection Supervisor at Wisconsin International University College. His expertise spans penetration testing, digital forensics, incident response, malware analysis, cryptography, cloud and IoT security, zero trust architecture, cyber threat intelligence, data protection, and governance, risk and compliance.
Dr. Siraj's research interests cover blockchain, cybersecurity, distributed computing, consensus protocols and machine learning, with published work on blockchain consensus security, smart-contract privacy preservation for sensitive records in the cloud, and new consensus mechanisms. This background gives him a distinctive perspective on artificial intelligence: as organisations adopt AI tools, agents and data-driven automation, he helps learners understand how to protect the data these systems depend on, recognise new attack surfaces, and put sound governance, privacy and access controls in place so that AI can be used safely and responsibly. In the classroom he connects technical practice with regulation, privacy and human factors, drawing on real-world security and data-protection cases to show how concepts apply in professional settings, and his experiential, hands-on teaching style has made him a trusted trainer for students and working professionals alike.
Hermes Agent is not just a course topic for Dr. Alfred Ang; it already sits inside one of the production pipelines Dr. Ang built. Dr. Ang is a full-stack AI developer, Agentic AI solution architect and corporate trainer, and serves as CTO of Tertiary Infotech Academy Pte Ltd, the Singapore training organisation behind Tertiary Courses. Building intelligent agents and business systems end-to-end, across front end, back end, databases, cloud deployment and native mobile apps, Dr. Ang has published more than 300 public repositories on GitHub. The most relevant here is an automated YouTube video production pipeline for Tertiary Courses, where topic requests submitted through a web form trigger a Hermes Agent webhook that researches the subject and drives the rest of the production steps. Dr. Ang has also built a self-hosted learning and training management system with AI agent automation, an inventory forecasting agent on n8n that runs on a local LLM through Ollama and flags items below their reorder threshold, and a Telegram AI agent that analyses stock data. Published Claude Code skills and a self-improving chatbot inside an AI-powered CMS show the same interest in agents that use tools, remember context and get better over time, the very ideas at the core of Hermes Agent. Operating these agents day to day has shown Dr. Ang the practical side of autonomy, including how to give an agent enough freedom to be useful, how to keep it from wandering off task and how to review its output before it reaches an audience.
AI Agent with Hermes Agent lets professionals, developers, IT staff and technology enthusiasts build an autonomous agent of their own, guided by someone who runs one in production. Dr. Ang begins with the fundamentals of agentic AI and Hermes Agent, explaining how an agent plans multi-step work, chooses tools and decides when a task is finished. Learners then build their first agents, connecting them to messaging channels and the command line and setting up scheduled jobs. The third topic covers memory, tools and knowledge integration, showing how an agent keeps useful context, calls external services and draws on documents to answer accurately. Topic four moves to multi-agent collaboration and workflow automation, where several agents divide research, writing, data and operations work and hand results to one another. The course ends with deploying, securing and optimising agents, including where to host them, how to limit permissions and protect credentials, and how to monitor cost and quality once an agent runs unattended. Dr. Ang illustrates each stage with lessons from the video pipeline, such as triggering agents from webhooks and checking output before publishing. Sessions are hands-on, with live builds and practice time, so learners leave with a working agent and a plan to extend it. Learners also compare Hermes Agent with other agent approaches they may meet, so they can judge when a self-hosted, skill-learning agent is the right choice and when a simpler workflow tool will do, an important decision for anyone planning to introduce agents into an organisation.
