Field notes on cybersecurity, AI & technology — from your home to the boardroom

I’m Nelson Lopes, IT Director at ExpressGlass in Portugal — part of an international group. I’ve spent 10 years doing this work, so what I write comes from real days with deadlines, teams and consequences, not from the sidelines chasing the next hype cycle.

Expect a broad spectrum of technology — from the small habit that keeps your personal data safe, to the organization-wide call a leadership team has to get right.

Two threads run through most of it:

• Security — secure the basics, then build: no guru act, just the simple, high-impact things most of us overlook.

• AI for shipping, not for show — the hard, valuable part isn’t the demo; it’s putting a finished product in front of real users.

Whether you want to be safer online, go deeper technically, or steer technology for a team or a company, there’s something here for you.
