About

Highly experienced network and systems architect, innovator and technology thought leader. I design and implement highly scalable network system architectures that are used to drive billions of dollars in annual revenues. I also mentor and manage a group of diverse and independent thinkers ranging from Big Data scientist, Real-Time systems architect to network architects. I enjoy working for fast-paced companies that are not afraid of taking risks and keep on innovating. Computer and networking technology are changing the world and I am glad to be part of them.
