Ovidio Vazquez
Consultant, Public Speaker, and Father in Nuevo Laredo, México
Hey I’m Ovidio, a consultant at S.T.C., Cryptielligence & Hardenix living in Nuevo Laredo, México. I am a fan of technology, entrepreneurship, reading, travel and education, as a life long learner I love the M.O.O.C's at Coursera, edX, Future Learn and so many other platforms.
Beginning with my personal life, at early stages I liked to play with electronics in my toys, was amazing to see my Star Wars spaceships brilliant with a bunch of LED's
Year's ahead I practiced basketball and at the same time I was a member of a nationwide military academy called Pentathlon were the activities sowed the taste of adventure
As a volunteer I served as a member of civil protection squad for 2 years, then my youth spirit take me to practice more adventurous and contact sports like rock climbing, trekking, mountain bike, enduro, boxing, aikido, jujitsu, grappling and sanda
My Life gave a 180 degree turn when I attended an I.T. Security Conference back in 2012, I realize how insecure the digital and real life are and make me wake up and start studying the topic
Again, my life wakes up and centers the attention to a new technology in 2014, Bitcoin.. that's why I often travel to Monterrey, Mexico to keep up to date and collaborate with "Monterrey Bitcoin Community" where my role is CTO and Co-founder
As a Bitcoin community that our mission is to educate and preach this technology we have been participating in several events like the Texas Bitcoin Conference (Austin, Tx 2015), Labitconf 2015 (The Latinoamerican Bitcoin Conference in CDMX), X.25 Hacking Conferences 2015 (Hidalgo, Mex) , IncMTY (Entrepreneurship Festival) 2016 (Monterrey, Mexico), Campus Party 2016, 2017 (Guadalajara, Mex), and also we've been organizing some meetups in U.A.N.L (Monterrey, Mexico) and talks and conferences in Instituto Tecnologico de Nuevo Laredo (Nvo. Laredo, Mexico), U.A.T. (Nvo. Laredo, Mexico), U.T. (Apodaca, Mexico)
At the time, I'm leading a new nonprofit community in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico.. "Laredo Hack Garage" our mission is to promote technology in our city leveraging in our local human talent and of course also from the people that enrich our goal,the technologists now have a place to learn, share and show their skills in a fun atmosphere, the tight relations with private companies and education centers will help share knowledge and experiences, this lead our city to became more technology “compatible” to the facing changes
