Professional Direction

I believe that Distributed Ledger technology, Augmented Cognition (Machine Learning, AI), Augmented Perception (AR, VR, natural HCI), Pervasive Computing (IoT, wearable, mobile) and, later on, Quantum Computing will be revolutionary forces in helping human society tackle scaling, security, governance and real-world complexity in so many fields.

I'm striving to become a more active contributor in at least some of those, as well as building exceptional cloud-native microservices products with advanced interactive Web and Mobile UIs and interactive data visualization while helping improving and/or building any relevant core technologies such as languages, runtimes, frameworks and/or development tools.
