Andrew MacLean

Andrew MacLean

Andrew is equal parts tech enthusiast, educator, and the kind of person who can’t resist pressing buttons just to see what happens (sometimes even twice). A former classroom teacher with nearly a decade of experience crafting learning experiences for techies of all ages, he traded chalkboards for the keyboards of the tech industry in 2020 and hasn’t looked back. Since then, he’s worn many hats—Community Manager, Developer Advocate, and now Developer Educator at Twilio—where he helps developers connect the dots between imagination and implementation. When he’s not building (or breaking :sweat_smile:) things with tech, you’ll find Andrew soaking up the west coast vibes on Vancouver Island, Canada—where he tries (and often fails) to look outdoorsy.

Thomas de Klerk

Thomas de Klerk

Thomas de Klerk works as a learning consultant and trainer at Info Support, where he spends much of his time helping people make sense of complex technology — including AI.
His background is not purely technical. Early in his career he trained as a teacher at university level, later specialising in Human Resource Development. That combination still shapes how he looks at technology today: not just in terms of what it can do, but how people think, learn and make decisions around it.
His work now sits somewhere between training, facilitation and experimentation. He designs workshops, learning journeys and the occasional escape room to explore how people actually work with tools like AI in practice.
He uses AI himself, daily — which is exactly why he keeps questioning what it does to his own thinking.

She argues that governance must be viewed as a mycelium network and that ethical considerations are no longer a cultural nicety. They are foundational to mitigate risk, avoid legal and bottom line liability, and ensuring that real world harms are caught before damage is done. Governance must be preventative, not a mop up exercise.

Jessica De Paiva

Licensed Strategy Advisor | Regulation Governance, Systems Architecture & Organisational Flow

Advising enterprise, government, and public sector leadership globally on regulatory policy, non-invasive systems integration, and human-in-the-loop operational resilience. I architect deterministic boundary frameworks that integrate across any industry - unifying legacy infrastructure without full system overhauls, eliminating multi-national entropy silos, and preventing blackbox system collapse.

What I Offer: Universal Industry Advisory & System Integration

My practice delivers end-to-end, sector-agnostic advisory and implementation capabilities developed to scale across critical infrastructure, manufacturing, logistics, finance, defence, healthcare, and enterprise technology.

1. Strategic Governance & Advisory

* Cross-Sector Regulatory Compliance: Designing, validating, and testing policy enforcement models tailored for complex multi-jurisdiction and cross-border regulatory adherence.��
* Organisational Systems Analysis: Auditing, developing, and training internal corporate departments across all tiers for non-invasive, low-friction integration.

* Entropy Reduction & Silo Unification: Managing variable complexity to maintain congruent operational order and eliminate drag without introducing system latency.

* Risk Management & Failure-Mode SOPs: Authoring automated troubleshooting frameworks and fail-safe procedures to ensure continuity under extreme operating conditions.


2. Systems Architecture & Non-Invasive Integration

* Non-Invasive Socio-Technical Orchestration (SSO-ADGF): Bridging physical human workflows with existing digital infrastructure (ERP, WMS, MES), physical hardware, and air-gapped networks without requiring costly rip-and-replace overhauls.

* Deterministic Boundary Control (ISOIG): Enforcing operational precision through an adaptable, zero-latency custom intelligence standard.

* Algorithmic APIs & Unified Dashboards: Deploying plug-and-play dashboards for real-time compliance tracking, auditable telemetry, and verifiable system security.

* High-Assurance Technology Enablement: Safely layering cloud, patented AI, and legacy assets into verified, explainable, and fully auditable states.


3. Operational Execution & Human-AI Symbiosis

* Autonomous Dual-Mode Execution: Engineering resilient systems that maintain full operational autonomy whether AI capabilities are deployed, degraded, or completely offline.

* Adversarial & External Threat Immunisation: Enforcing strict data validation boundaries that shield core infrastructure from external computational threats and adversarial AI vectors.

* Cognitive Ergonomics & Anti-Panic Protocols: Translating complex technical requirements into ambiguity-free procedural manuals that mitigate operator fatigue and eliminate panic during high-stress anomaly overrides.

* Sustainable Capital & Milestone Integrity: Maximising time optimisation, preserving workforce stability, and securing milestone delivery through job-preserving, symbiotic human-AI collaboration across every department.

Through this advisory, organisations gain an end-to-end operational standard.
