For over twenty years I worked for various software and telecommunications companies in technical, sales and management positions.During that period, I have acquired significant experience designing, managing and developing mainly mission-critical object-oriented distributed systems in C++ on various UNIX, Windows and Mac OS platforms.I also did extensive voice and data network architecture and implementation work for national and international carriers as well as wholesale resellers and service providers.Combining my technical expertise with strong communication skills and a good business sense allowed me, among other things, to successfully sell complex software development and telecommunication services and to conclude strategic partnership, technology transfer and sub-contracting agreements with multiple private, academic and government partners.Specialties: IP and VoIP networkingObject Oriented software developmentGeomatics and international geospatial standards from the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC).
