Summary

I have 10 years of experience in enterprise software development, financial systems, and large-scale system implementations. Over the past five years, I have taken on project leadership roles, including three years as Managing Director of Green Bit Technologies, where I have led software innovation and the development of scalable, high-performance solutions.
