Levon Azevedo
LEAD_ARCHITECT // BLACK_ICE_LABS[CORE_DIRECTIVE]
"Organizations don't fail because of technology. They fail because of architecture."
// BACKGROUND_LOG
Two decades at the convergence of cybersecurity, cloud architecture, and mission-critical systems. From digital innovation in Brazil to complex operations in Canada. Core insight: complexity is the enemy of security.
// MISSION_STATEMENT
Founded Black Ice Labs to build the next evolution of intelligence — not just artificial, but conscious. Technology that doesn't just process, but understands.
The Journey to Autonomous Intelligence
The Foundation
2005
Engineering Foundation
Computer Engineering degree from FIAP (São Paulo). The beginning of an obsession with complex systems, distributed architectures, and the fundamental principles of resilient software.
The Security Era
2008
Cybersecurity Specialization
MSc in Cybersecurity from University College Dublin (Ireland). A decade of defending perimeters and understanding that security is not a product — it's a state of constant vigilance.
The Acceleration Era
2010-2020
Global Infrastructure & Leadership
Leadership roles as CEO and CTO across Brazil and Latin America. Accelerating high-growth startups, designing DevOps ecosystems, and building technology teams that deliver at scale.
The Autonomy Era
2024
Black Ice Labs (Calgary)
The culmination of 20 years of experience transformed into Autonomous Cognitive Intelligence. Not just protection — but reasoning. Not just monitoring — but autonomous decision-making.
Core Values
Designed for 2100
We don't build solutions for the next quarter. We build architectures for the next century.
Sovereignty First
We believe that a company's intelligence should belong to the company — not rented from the cloud. Your data, your models, your cognitive infrastructure.
Resilience by Design
With our DNA rooted in cybersecurity, every line of EvaCore code is written assuming the external environment is hostile. Zero-trust isn't a feature — it's the foundation.
Hardware Efficiency
We reject the idea that intelligence requires resource waste. Our engineering focuses on maximum performance over optimized infrastructure — not brute-force GPU clusters.
"The future of enterprise intelligence is not rented from the cloud — it's owned, controlled, and evolved within your own walls."
— Black Ice Labs Manifesto
