About me
I'm Edilson Osorio Junior, originally from São Paulo, Brazil. With a background as a founder, computer scientist, and teacher, I've spent over two decades specializing in information security and infrastructure. I also hold a degree in Copyright from Harvard Law School, further enriching my expertise.
I'm the author of Hääl, the groundbreaking open-source protocol for Secret e-Voting on Public Blockchains. This project represents a significant milestone in the intersection of technology and democracy.
I've had the honor of being recognized as the #1 most important and influential personality in cryptocurrencies and blockchain in Brazil, by CoinTelegraph. This acknowledgment underscores my dedication to driving positive change and innovation in the field.
Currently, I serve as the CEO and Founder of the internationally acclaimed OriginalMy, a company at the forefront of leveraging blockchain technology for decentralized authenticity. Despite facing challenges from traditional institutions, I remain committed to using technology as a force for transparency, efficiency, and equity in Brazil's digital landscape.
"I am deeply honoured to have been chosen as an envoy for the Estonian e-Residency program. This forward-thinking program is a testament to Estonia's commitment to innovation, digital transformation, and global collaboration. It's an exciting opportunity to help promote Estonia's digital achievements and to be a part of this cutting-edge program."
My journey
With e-Residency, you can easily register an EU business online without relocating and free from bureaucracy: great for remote entrepreneurs!

I became an e-resident
I applied in the end of 2017, when we decided to move the company out of Brazil. We did a research to find the best jurisdiction crossing taxes x regulation x costs and Estonia was on the top of the list.
2018
I registered my first company as an e-resident
OriginalMy is a company that uses blockchain to provide e-governance and cybersecurity services. Estonia is mastering those areas since ever, and is the best place to be.
