Curriculum Vitae
Technical leader and senior systems developer with over 25 years in telecommunications, IT infrastructure, and cloud technologies. Track record of leading technical teams, designing scalable solutions, and driving adoption of emerging technologies from concept to production.
Core strengths in building and motivating teams, translating complex technical challenges into actionable architectures, and bridging the gap between hands-on engineering and strategic direction. Equally comfortable designing observability frameworks, hardening security architectures, or mentoring engineers.
Current focus: cloud-native technologies, service assurance, and observability—including OpenTelemetry, Kubernetes, and distributed tracing. Delegate to 3GPP SA5, contributing to international standards for network management and orchestration.
