AI will allow humans to invest time typically spent in more tactical or executional areas and free that up for people to focus on better service and higher-level creativity and thinking.Īre there any technologies which you think are overhyped? Why? I think that chatbots are overhyped and overused to a certain extent. AI adds another dimension on top of that incorporating judgement, understanding, learning and concluding, all which helps facilitate and enhances human interactions. However, AI is more than just that static computing power and the results it provides. I believe that it will lead the next growing wave of computing technology innovation for the next 30 years, particularly due to the ability to enhance and integrate with the human component.įor the past 30 years, computer technology has focused on computing “certainty”- providing consistent results where computing speed is the source of the power. Which emerging technology are you most excited about the prospect of? I see tremendous potential and opportunity with AI to aid in the operational process and lead to more meaningful human interactivity. I am an architect of technology, business alignment and practical execution. What type of CTO are you? In line with that philosophy of Architecture, I consider myself an architect type of CTO. That is the path I use to build my philosophy of (IT) architecture, through understanding, alignment and balance. Along with all those shifts in focus, my road to analysis and application of simplicity and clarity through fundamental logic has never changed. Every shift in focus doubled, if not tripled, the level of challenge and influence on my understanding and skillset. This was a purposeful pathway to gain broad insights into all areas of the operation. I worked at one company (WebEx/Cisco) for that entire time, but in roles across almost every technical team and functional segment of technologies including Web, Client, Server, Data Centre Operations, SWAT style Task Force, Platform, API, etc. Before I co-founded Moxtra as the Chief Technology Officer a little over a dozen years into my career, I had changed my position and role, as well as my technical focus every one or two years. Did you take any detours? If so, discuss. in Mechanical Engineering Automation.Įxplain your career path. What was your education? Do you hold any certifications? What are they? I attended the University of Science and Technology of China where I earned my B.S. However, after accepting some of the uncertainty inherent in the career path, rather than relying on the comfort of certainty, I was able to utilise that as the fundamental philosophy to drive my passion for IT. In the early stages of my career, when I could not program a stable daemon agent running on a customer’s machine for months, I was discouraged. I have continued to find passion every day in where my career has gone since that first job and, looking back, I realise just how impressive the SaaS and cloud computing technology has been in leading the industry for the last two decades.ĭid you always want to work in IT? For the most part, yes.
#MOXTRA CAREERS CODE#
My first role at WebEx was focused on converting Microsoft Active Server Pages (ASP) web code to PHP code along with the overall company tech stack shifting from a Microsoft server system to Linux. I had no hesitation to join and was excited to be a part of this innovative new realm of technology.
#MOXTRA CAREERS SOFTWARE#
This was back in the late 90’s and when I saw the WebEx demo with no software installation required – it was just the browser and allowed you to view another computer’s screen, voice, annotate and more – it was truly an eye-opening experience. What was your first job? I started my career as a PHP Web Developer at WebEx Communications. Prior to Moxtra, he was a Principal Engineer in the Cisco Collaboration Group, focused on the development and delivery of Cisco's next generation collaboration platform.
At Moxtra, Huang manages the entire product lifecycle from business alignment to service delivery, as well as development, data center operations and more.
