Edward Noyola
Founder. Builder. Explorer.

I've wanted to build a company since I was a kid. After five years as a cloud engineer working with 100+ companies, I finally started my own: ZoniteAI.

My Story Get in Touch
About Me

From engineer to founder.

Hey! I'm Edward (Ed to friends, Eduardo on LinkedIn). I've loved making things for as long as I can remember: toys, videos, anything cool. By eighth grade I already knew I wanted to build a company one day. First, though, I became a cloud engineer, the person companies call when they need their systems to run reliably, securely, and without breaking the bank. Over five years I worked with more than 100 companies across Latin America, helping them move to the cloud and keep it running.

I actually tried to start a company six years ago. I didn't have the money to register it, and the first thing every potential client asked was whether it was legally registered. So I went to work, and for five years I told myself "when I have more experience," "when I have more resources," "when I have XYZ." One day I realized that if I kept thinking that way, I'd be waiting for tomorrow forever. The AI revolution was happening right in front of my eyes. It was now or never. That's when I founded ZoniteAI.

Outside of work you'll usually find me traveling, out in nature, or making friends along the way. I think every person carries experiences and adventures you can learn from. Online I go by Edward Noyola, so you'll find me as @edwartnoyola on Instagram, TikTok, and X, and EdwardCortex on YouTube.

What I Believe

My dream is to change the world and help humanity move forward. I want to leave a legacy, and when I'm gone, I want the world, or wherever we are by then, to be a better place to live.

Life is more than solving problems.

You need a reason to wake up and want to get going every day. You can't spend the years of your life doing something you don't love.

Give your best, always.

I'd rather give everything I've got than do just enough. And somehow that effort pushes the people around me to raise their game too.

Learn from everyone you meet.

I like making friends along the way. Every person carries experiences and adventures worth learning from.

ZoniteAI

Now or never.

I put off "my company" for years, waiting to have enough experience, enough resources, enough of everything. Then AI started changing the world in front of my eyes, and I stopped waiting. ZoniteAI is a company focused on artificial intelligence with one goal: helping people and organizations adopt it, because I believe AI is going to change humanity. It's where most of my energy goes today.

  • Assistants that take repetitive work off people's plates
  • Automations that connect the tools a team already uses
  • Systems that help organizations use what they already know

Things I've built.

A few projects from my years as an engineer, and what each one changed. Plain-language versions, no jargon required.

GenAI & Automation

AI Estimation Agent

A sales team was spending days answering complex quote requests by hand. I built an AI assistant that reads each request, finds the right information, and drafts the estimate. Answers now take minutes instead of days.

Multi-Cloud Disaster Recovery

When servers fail, businesses stop. I designed the safety nets for 50+ companies so their systems could switch over and keep running, across Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud.

Azure Zerto
CI/CD

Faster deployments
CI/CD & Security

Automated Infrastructure Deployment

Turned a slow, manual release process into an automated one across the whole organization. Teams shipped 80% faster and engineers got half their week back for real work.

Cloud cost reduction

Cost Optimization & Analytics

Cloud bills grow quietly. I built dashboards that showed exactly where the money was going, then led the changes that cut costs by 25%.

Off the clock.

When I'm not building something, I'm usually exploring somewhere new. A few moments from the road.
