About

A specialist with strong technical knowledge and practical hands-on expertise. I believe that software development is no longer about a simple app but a key component in an wider infrastructure touching multiple legacy and modern systems with disparate authentication struggling with increasingly demanding customer expectation for performance, usability and function. With 10 years of experience of taking software solutions to the market, I am a strong advocate of evolutionary architecture practices and agile process. My strengths include: requirements elicitation management, process mapping and design, focus on clients business issues and supporting the sales and account teams. Proven communication ability to bridge the gap between Business and IT teams.
