SRE × NEUROSCIENCE × FUTURES
I'm Iván — an SRE by day, a brain researcher by night. I work at the intersection of resilient systems and the deepest system we still don't know yet: our brain.
THE HUMAN LOOP
OBSERVE · MODEL · BECOME
Whole Brain Emulation · consciousness · neuroplasticity · self-experimentation
↘DEVOPS ENGINEERING
A selection of production systems I've helped build, operate and evolve. This is my main work, as a regular person, for the company I work for.
Provisioning and maintaining infrastructure on Microsoft Azure. Built comprehensive DevOps processes with Azure DevOps pipelines to automate deployments, testing and performance optimization.
Moving infrastructure and data from Stratio to Azure and other cloud services. Worked across OpenDistro, OpenSearch, Kafka, Kubernetes and observability systems.
Provisioning and maintaining a cloud platform on AWS, implementing CI/CD pipelines and supporting the ongoing operation of the CSP application.
Collecting meteorological data from stations around the world with Liferya DXP, processing it on Kubernetes and monitoring with the Elastic Stack.
THE BRAIN LAB
Whole Brain Emulation is the long view: a scientific and engineering challenge to understand the brain deeply enough to simulate its function. I'm exploring the ideas, tools and habits that move that possibility from science fiction toward a real research program.
Consciousness is something we still don't know how to quantify, how to see it, modify or understand it. So that's what I'm most interested in so I can understand myself and the universe as no one knows what all this is. People are just living instead of questioning why are we living.
This is what I do during free time.
A LITTLE CONTEXT
02 — 02At mimacom, I work as a DevOps Engineer: making complex systems observable, resilient and efficient. Outside work, I try to answer one question: Why?
Reading about the brain for years, building experiments and asking what it would mean to understand the pattern that makes someone themselves and transcend.
We don't know why we are here, how we are here and why everything is as it is. I want to to know the secret.
