Top SchoolThiago Ayub is a seasoned technology leader and CTO based in São Paulo with over 16 years of experience building and operating large-scale network and cybersecurity platforms. He has led R&D and operations for market-leading DDoS mitigation and CDN products, helping protect roughly 20% of Brazil’s internet and exporting anti-DDoS technology globally. His career blends deep technical chops—designing AS-level networks, IPv6 adoption, and high-availability backbones—with operational leadership through M&A transitions and rapid growth phases. A former professor and long-time internet activist since the BBS era, he also demystifies infrastructure for the public via his YouTube channel and tech columns. Notably, he moved between academia and industry to scale mission-critical networks for banks, media groups, and national ISPs, pairing hackery with rigorous governance. Thiago’s background in biology education and early free-software community roles gives him an uncommon perspective on teaching complex systems and translating them for broad audiences.
