A’nyo “AB” Bell

A’nyo “AB” Bell brings together cybersecurity, software development, and visual storytelling. Before Futuremakers, he gained experience at BitGo conducting threat hunts, developing detection rules, and contributing to incident-response playbooks. His technical background includes Python, data analysis, and projects in machine learning and web development. He also describes security work testing web and API endpoints for vulnerabilities and conducting reverse engineering.

For his independent project, AB produced founder interview videos exploring California’s proposed billionaire tax, pairing firsthand perspectives with fiscal research. He adapted his questions to respect confidentiality while improving the recordings’ sound quality. The project connected his interest in investigative media with public policy and the innovation economy.

His favorite aspect of Futuremakers was the flexibility to develop his own ideas and bring them into public view.
