With over 25 years of experience in software architecture, innovation, and entrepreneurship, I am passionate about creating solutions that empower developers and organizations to achieve their goals with freedom and flexibility. As the CEO and founder of Control Plane Corporation, I am on a mission to virtualize the cloud and enable the seamless integration and utilization of services from different cloud providers, as if they were one.Before launching Control Plane, I was the chief architect of the cloud services platform at VMware, where I set the architectural vision and direction for the strategic platform that supported VMware's transition to the SaaS model. Prior to that, I was a principal architect at SAP/Concur, a chief software architect at Dell Software, and the founder and CEO of BiTKOO, a startup that specialized in fine-grained authorization and was acquired by Quest Software. I also have a CISSP certification and multiple patents in the fields of authentication, authorization, and cloud computing. My background and expertise span across various domains and industries, such as SaaS, distributed systems, cloud computing, containerization, security, and identity. I am always eager to learn, explore, and collaborate with others who share my vision and values.
