With over 25 years in the software development industry, I am proud to serve as the Chief Technology Officer at Planon, where I combine my passion for technology and innovation to lead the evolution of the Planon Universe platform.My journey with Planon started as a Lead Architect, where I reinvented the product into an enterprise-level platform for Integrated Workplace Management System (IWMS). This transformation laid the foundation for the broad range of solutions that Planon offers today.As CTO, I've transformed our product delivery into a continuous, monthly release process, ensuring that all Planon customers have access to the most updated software - a program we proudly call #PlanonLive.One of my transformative initiatives is the creation of Planon as a Platform (#PaaP). This platform not only opened up the Planon Universe to partners and customers, but also included a full-flex Integrated Development Environment (IDE), a marketplace, and a community site. The success of this initiative can be measured by its adoption - more than 50 partners and a significant number of customers are using the platform, and over 500 applications have been built on it.One of my proudest achievements at Planon was setting up the Planon Cloud Center. This state-of-the-art cloud platform, hailed as one of the most innovative in the real estate and facility management domain, empowers our customers by placing them in full control of their environment, with full automated DTAP (Development, Testing, Acceptance, and Production) support. The platform is readily available on both AWS and Azure, ensuring maximum accessibility and convenience for our users.In addition to these responsibilities, I also lead Planon's operations in India. This crucial hub for development, shared services, and support services plays a significant role in our global operations and is instrumental in the successful delivery of our services worldwide.Prior to joining Planon, I worked at various ICT companies where I honed my skills in product development and maintenance management software. This diverse experience has helped me appreciate the complexities of the industry and the importance of delivering robust, efficient, and user-friendly software solutions.I'm always open to connecting with professionals and exploring collaborative opportunities in software development and technology innovation. Feel free to reach out, let's shape the future of technology together!
