Hermes Rojas
Hermes has been around IT for about as long as I have, we have seen all the good and all the bad that has happened in the last 30ish years and the best I can say is that it is very exciting for me, as I’m sure for him, to have lived through all these incredible developments:
The Computer War,
The OS War,
The Browser War,
The Handheld Devices War.
The one thing guaranteed with technology, the moment you stop innovating is the moment you stop being relevant.
We welcome Hermes in this episode where we talk about his duties as Regional IT Director, very interesting to hear him and Rubén talk about the world of IT and everything he is passionate about around it. I really like touring the island and discovering new places, that's why in a few years I would like to buy a Jeep Rubicon, they are so beautiful, light and can take you anywhere.
Enjoy this episode where we learn more about Jorge's passion for technology.
Emily Gonzalez. Greetings! It was a spectacular episode, sharing with Hermes is always a great joy and unquestionably the regional IT department of DISS does an extraordinary job and the leadership of Hermes is very noticeable in that efficiency and the vehicle of my dreams would be a black, 1967 Chevrolet Impala Hardtop Sedan, as close as possible to the one from the supernatural series.

In this episode learning about the passion of Hermes in his work at DISS was quite interesting. On the other hand, the car of my dreams is without a doubt the 1967 Ford Mustang Shelby Gt500 fastback Eleanor since it is a car that I consider very elegant but at the same time it is A tough car and besides being a classic car it has a pretty interesting history.
You may already know this, but I love technology. You know what I find more important than technology though? Education and cooperation. I hate the term idiot proof, and in tech it's used far too often. It's my opinion that tech doesn’t fail, users do, but they only fail due to bad user designs implemented, and if the user fails and you need to keep "idiot proofing" your invention, you may be targeting the wrong users. I've been seeing more and more discussions around user failures in cybersecurity, but so few articles mention the most important aspect that is often forgotten, education. Look, you can’t know what you don’t know, and berating you for not knowing will get us nowhere. My responsibility, as I see it, is to make sure that you DO know, but also make sure that you're not afraid to ask me any "idiot" question you have, because, and this is the most important point, the more mistakes you make that I learn how to fix and can later teach how to prevent, the more I grow as a person and professional.
All this to say, I'm proud to be your IT, I'm proud to be your co-host, but mostly, I'm proud you trust me to be a teacher to anyone who needs it because I definitely know I would have gotten nowhere if my mentors had not been willing to be patient and understanding with me.
