About

My own opinions. I've been happily spending seven years in software development dealing with high-traffic web environments, including one which ranks in the top 25 bandwidth consumers in the world. Throughout my career, I have worked in small startups, mid-size companies, +1000 employees company and founded a startup. These days what energizes me is building million dollar revenue generating projects within a company and achieving this by synergizing teams to the next level and leading them to move the entire company forward.
