About
Having progressed through a plethora of roles centered around software development/management, I consider myself an expert when it comes to creating Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) processes by using mix of agile client-driven and waterfall models.
I am accomplished technical leader with a proven track record in generating business solutions aligned with clients' requirements, designing product roadmaps, and overseeing product deployments. Skilled in leading complex networking and cybersecurity projects. Recognized for devising strategic plans and innovative project release strategies to enhance development cycles and product quality. Proficient at recruiting and training staff members, evaluating team performance, and building strong relationships with stakeholders.
I have built solid history of success in creating fourteen unique technologies and delivering seven of them to the marketplace. This includes multiple cybersecurity products and Protocol Independent Router (PIR) which was deployed in 100+ banking, insurance and medical networks worldwide. My ATM technologies were deployed few years ahead of the similar industry standards.
