Who am I

I made this short video to blur the differences between human beings and animals. My real intent is to intrigue us to think harder about how we can live and think beyond biological beings. Maybe who we are is not that important, and how we think is.

WHAT I DO

I design and implement technology solutions to solve complex business problems. I am a proactive self-learner and readily embrace emerging technologies. I also help teams with agile transformation.

My career aspiration is to become a recognized innovator and thought leader, adept at identifying strategic investment opportunities and bridging the gap between business needs and technological advancements.

Experiences

WHAT I KNOW

My technical foundation was established through experience with machine languages and emulators, which facilitated my adeptness in adopting mid-level and high-level programming languages such as Java. I have a diverse background in the IT industry, encompassing embedded software, client/server software, web applications, networking, databases, system integration, information security, middleware and infrastructure, cloud computing, and DevOps. My current interests lie in AI, distributed ledger technology, and the correlation between IT leadership and business value creation.
