👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolFernando Tavares is a publishing technologist and educator who has spent 15 years building production-ready digital book workflows and founding Booknando to deliver accessible ePub3 and HTML5 titles across Brazil’s publishing segments. He bridges editorial practice and AI, having automated editorial workflows, built Python tools, and deployed AI-driven processes for metadata, QA, conversion and audiobook synthesis through co‑founding Volyo. As Academic Coordinator of AI at Faculdade LabPub he designs courses and helps publishers adopt AI strategically, ethically and with measurable outcomes rather than hype. His background in information security, e‑learning and product management gives him a rare mix of operational rigor, pedagogical sense and technical discipline. Fernando’s hands-on experience solving real-world constraints—such as training Portuguese TTS voices and adapting to shifting APIs and costs—shapes a pragmatic view of what AI can truly deliver for content businesses. He is based in Paraná and writes The AI Publisher newsletter, sharing hard-won lessons on AI in the book industry.
