The human who has seen every hype cycle,
twice.
Before “AI” was a LinkedIn buzzword, before “data privacy” was a GDPR checkbox, and before “agentic” meant anything to anyone outside a research lab, Nuno F. Assis was already building, breaking, and rebuilding systems at the intersection of data, intelligence, and security.
With over 35 years of hands-on experience, Nuno has navigated every major shift in the technology landscape, from the early days of enterprise data warehousing to deploying Agentic AI in production environments today. He has advised governments, led digital transformations at multinationals, and built teams that actually ship.
His approach is refreshingly direct: no buzzword bingo, no vendor-sponsored opinions, no “thought leadership” that leads nowhere. Just hard-won expertise, delivered with the kind of clarity that only comes from having been in the room when things went wrong, and knowing exactly why.
When he is not keynoting at a conference or advising a board, he writes Commit Issues, a blog about what it actually takes to implement Agentic AI in production. Because the gap between a demo and a deployment is where most projects go to die.
Four domains.
One coherent worldview.
The fields that matter most are not silos. They are deeply entangled. Nuno works at their intersection.
Data Privacy
GDPR, CCPA, AI Act, and everything that comes after. Privacy engineering, data minimisation, and building organisations that treat personal data as a liability, not an asset.
Agentic AI
Not the demo. The production system. Autonomous agents, multi-agent orchestration, tool use, memory, and the hard problems of deploying AI that acts in the real world.
Cybersecurity
Security architecture, threat modelling, and the increasingly complex intersection of AI systems and attack surfaces. Because every intelligent system is also a potential vulnerability.
Words that land.
Rooms that remember.
