Start your week plugged in! Tech Tides: Innovation Waves brings the world of technology home to Kaua'i every Monday morning. Your host, "Tsunami Soren," brings a tidal wave of tech knowledge and breaks it down so everyone can understand it. Soren is a true child of the island — he first came to Kaua'i in 1978 when his father practiced medicine in Kapa'a, attended Kilauea Elementary and Kapa'a High School, then headed to the mainland to study Computer and Electrical Engineering at Purdue University. He went on to earn his MBA from Northwestern's Kellogg School of Management, and because he never stops riding the wave, he's currently pursuing his Master's in Computer Science online at Georgia Tech.
From there, he helped launch the internet era, working with pioneers like Netscape and Sun Microsystems, and went on to spend more than 30 years as a leading technology transformation consultant. He led major system overhauls for clients in banking, healthcare, retail, and government, and was at the forefront of putting mobile technology to practical use for organizations around the world. He was also hired to test and break into the cybersecurity defenses of major corporations and government and military systems — so when he talks about keeping your data safe, he knows exactly what the bad guys are looking for. Today, Soren is leveraging AI to help businesses improve the value they deliver to their customers. Throughout his career, the throughline has always been the same: take leading-edge technology and find practical, profitable uses for it.
Now permanently back home on the North Shore, Tsunami Soren is turning that world-class experience into something for our community. Each week he breaks down the latest in AI, cybersecurity, smart devices, and emerging tech — no jargon, no hype, just practical knowledge you can actually use. Whether you're a company looking for a competitive edge, an organization trying to modernize, or just someone who wants to understand the tech that's changing the world around you, Tech Tides connects global innovation to local island life. Soren's mission is the same one that's driven his entire career: helping people surf the wave of technology rather than being swallowed by it.
Got a tech question? Send it to tsunamisoren@kkcr.org and Tsunami Soren will tackle it on the air. Whether you're running a shop in Kapa'a, tending land on the North Shore, or just trying to make sense of the latest update on your phone, this show is for you. Grab your coffee, tune in, and ride the wave.
