I look after technology that cannot stop.
Edson Moreira Baptista · CTO of a Canadian startup · Infrastructure, DevOps, security and AI
I started assembling computers in 1992. Today I lead technology, cloud, security and artificial intelligence. Here I translate all of it for those who decide and for those who use it.
About me
I have worked in technology since 1992. I started in equipment maintenance and evolved naturally: server implementation (Unix, Linux and Microsoft), physical and logical networks and telephony. Then came an internet provider, data centers, field operations, cloud and DevOps. I am a computer engineer, I have worked at multinationals, led large teams, met SLAs and come through crises.
What drives me is connecting technology to what matters for the business: availability, security, cost and speed. And, more and more, the role of artificial intelligence inside infrastructure.
Tech Traduzida was born from a simple observation. Those who decide and those who use technology do not always have someone to explain it without jargon. That is the job.
