About

With around 15 years experience in Software Design (in E-Commerce, Ad Tech, Parallel Computing, Distributed Systems, OS Security & Protocol Stacks) and running Engineering teams, I like creating solutions and teams that are real (not just engineering marvels), that could scale, and that one can feel proud of. I have an MBA and an Electronics Engineering degree, and I still love to code - currently programming in golang/node.js.
