Architecting Networks Where Failure Isn’t an Option with Brad Terpstra

Architecting Networks Where Failure Isn’t an Option with Brad Terpstra

Brad Terpstra is a backend systems and communications engineering leader with roots in high-performance sport and large-scale IoT. As an avid sailor, Brad architected resilient networks & systems for American Magic’s America’s Cup campaign, and is now scaling Halter’s on-farm communications systems as part of the senior leadership team. He blends deep technical expertise with critical thinking and high-range leadership. Brad excels at building reliable, high-impact technology in dynamic, mission-critical environments — whether at sea or across thousands of connected hectares.


We discuss:


- the complexity of technology in the America's Cup boats

- the pressure of being responsible for critical networks

- the impact of these networks and systems on the people who rely on them
