Nuno F. Assis

Thirty-five years is a long time to be wrong about the same things in increasingly sophisticated ways. It is also long enough to occasionally be right — and to know the difference.

I have spent those years at the intersection of data, artificial intelligence, privacy engineering, and cybersecurity. Not as a theorist. As the person who inherits the architecture diagram at 11pm and has to make it work by morning.

Commit Issues is where I write about what actually happens when you deploy agentic AI in production — the parts that don't make it into the conference slides. The data residency edge cases. The privacy models that looked clean until they met real users. The security assumptions that held until they didn't.

I publish essays when I have something worth saying at length, and notes when I have something worth saying immediately. Both are written for practitioners who are tired of vendor marketing dressed up as insight.

What I do

I advise organisations on data strategy, AI governance, and privacy architecture. I speak at conferences, company events, and in-house leadership sessions — keynotes and deep-dive workshops, depending on what the room needs. I also build things: production agentic AI systems, sovereign data infrastructure, and the occasional tool that scratches my own itch badly enough to be worth sharing.

This blog

Dark-only. Self-hosted. No trackers. No newsletter pop-ups. No sponsored content. RSS feed in three formats because the web was better when readers were in charge.

The name is a git joke. Commit issues are what happens when you can't decide whether the thing you built is ready. Harder not to ship than to keep polishing. That tension is what most of my writing is about.
