Connecting people, business needs and IT is what I do for a living.Providing IT vision and solutions to grow the business is my top priority. Connecting the business needs for computing, store, connectivity, collaboration and networking all in a day's work. Over the last two decades, I was challenged by implementing solutions from Open Source to microservices to traditional enterprise software.Challenges range from storing large amounts of sensitive data in NoSQL (and SQL) databases, finding and managing the correct BI solution to log shipping, automation, and SaaS ERP. In short, if it transmits, processes or stores data, it was part of my life story. In my former position as the CIO of a large Payments solution provider, IT challenges were part of my day to day, running multiple self-owned data centers worldwide combined with a Public clouds Infrastures and services to provide the best cost-effective user experience. The day to day operations of more than 100 on-line services and millions of online financial transaction and merchants is truly marvelous. New technology streams in, keeping it in sync with the highest standards and demands of our customers, making sure that new applications roll out to production without affecting the current offering and so much more. On top of that is the delicate work of monitoring all the servers, applications and services not only at the “vital signs” level but at the end-user experience level, to make sure all systems are in sync and secure while our customers (both merchants and end-user) can enjoy the best payment experience on-line.Previous positions as Engineering and Information Technology Manager allowed me to gain years of experience in the fields of the online fast-growing SU.Technologies & Specialties: IT Leadership, Cloud Computing, GRC, SLA, Cybersecurity, #Hosting, #Fintech, Large scale computing.
