Update on tech interests and experience

Currently, my interests are on the realm of Open Source software and hardware technologies.
– Automation, Agile, GitLab.
– Linux, Open Stack.
– Kubernetes, Containers.

I’m also interested in emerging technologies such as:
– Machine Learning.
– Artificial Intelligence.
– Blockchain.
– Quantum technologies.
– RISC-V.
– Brain Computer Interfaces.
– Space Exploration.

And of course, Cloud. The one that I enjoy the most is AWS, with GCE in second place.

I’m not as keen on projects created in Kickstarter (and other similar sites) as I was before. Many of those end up under-delivering or eventually dying, and no longer supported. Some of them very interesting projects, like the Oculus Rift.

Unfortunately, buying the demo product is not as productive as investing in the company making the product. At the end of the day, all this one-off products end up being costly temporary toys.
It would be great if there would be a platform that allows you to invest in the companies or projects and get some equity instead of only the product.

It seems to be thought that this is the realm of the Venture Capital firms, at least for now.
Of course, I’m talking about been able to invest a very small percentage of what a VC firm can invest.  I think allowing this would be more productive for the public than been able to bet on sports or buying lottery tickets.
