Hello everyone, I'm Betania! Originally from Brazil, I immigrated to Montreal, Quebec, where I kicked off my career in technical roles on satellite ground segment and telecom.

 

In 2022, I relocated to Vancouver to project manage satellite programs, and now I work in maritime applications—progressing from hands-on engineering and manufacturing through project leadership to sales and business realities. Electrical engineer with over 20 years in technology, I speak Portuguese, French, English, and Spanish, and hold a personal training certification. Earlier on, I studied photography, worked as an assistant director in cinema, and engaged with pole dance fitness communities around 2012.

​

My drive has always been understanding and pushing limits, technical systems or human ones. Ten years ago, I started my fitness journey; in 2020, after 24 years of smoking, I quit cold to train for my first ultramarathon. At 35 (2016), I was sedentary; that year I committed to daily workouts and clean eating, flipping my life.

​

That same systems grit now fuels my shift: cutting through noise to explain what's actually happening in AI deployment, energy transitions, autonomy, space/maritime realities, and how tech reshapes human potential/exploration, no hype, grounded takes from someone who's lived the full tech lifecycle.

​

Here's the fitness journey that sharpened my edge:

​

• 2016: Committed to daily training/clean eating at age 35

• 2017: 365-day challenge; Under Armour Canada ambassador

• 2018–2019: Calisthenics focus, then bouldering

• 2020: Quit smoking → zero to ultramarathon (52km) in 6 months

• 2021: Cycling + 3 half marathons post-Vancouver move

• 2022: Paris Marathon on 42nd birthday + tri prep - Learned how to swim 

• 2023: Sprint/super sprint triathlons + Long Beach full marathon

• 2024: Ironman 70.3 (learned swim <1 year) + Sacramento marathon

• 2025: Tokyo Marathon (4th full) + first T100 (2km swim/80km bike/18km run)

• 2026: Building for 50km ultra (1600m elevation) + learning samba to become a dancer

I've built an Instagram community around inspiration and support, collaborating with brands on wellness/grit. Now, I'm channeling that discipline into content: honest journalism-style explainers on tech's real impact, bridging engineering truth with on-the-ground realities of pushing edges.
