My name is Sergei Akopov. I have been designing and building software applications for more than 25 years. I worked for such companies as Emerson/Intellution, GE, Lockheed, Leidos, and Capgemini mostly in the area of industrial automation, and also for a few years in security compliance. 

Some time ago, I decided to focus on cloud computing. It is obvious to me that cloud computing together with edge computing will enable developers to build a new class of applications that were not possible before. We actually are seeing such applications already, and there will only be better, and even more impactful applications in the future!
