While taking accountability in matters of performance management & strengthening core competencies, I also championed the creation of a new business line. This was accomplished by building & presenting a compelling business case to senior management, consequently developing a central control system for dispatch centers that controlled all onboard equipment (CCTV, infotainment). This allowed for the implementation of the pioneering Wayside Data Management System (WDMS), a new service in the intelligent transport industry. This ground-breaking work was also done in conjunction with other major accomplishments:✔ Migrated a Windows CE product to Linux across 200 units✔ Saved 1K man hours by developing software to upgrade 300+ units with no equipment CAPEX✔ Designed infotainment interface for trains with multiple stakeholder involvement✔ Built a new portfolio of management services with input on UI & architecture✔ Developed a new Media Content Manager software Show less

As a Software Director, I Spearheaded a software development team of 6 developers & 1 graphic artist. Together, we developed embedded automotive fleet management solutions (CAD/AVL) for public transit corporations.

As a Software Designer, I provided expert consulting services to corporate clients. I particularly specialized in software & firmware developments for healthcare devices & road signaling equipment control interfaces. As a recognized SME, I was entrusted with gathering & synthesizing stakeholder requirements, making innovative recommendations accordingly.Within these roles, I managed multiple projects & delivered several complex solutions, which drove efficiencies & increased client… Show more As a Software Designer, I provided expert consulting services to corporate clients.
