Senior Business Analyst/Cto
Acorex
This role was during the peak of ICO’s and Blockchain technology. Being based in Gibraltar, which was one of the first jurisdictions in the world to be regulated, this was an exciting time to be able to assist a number of business to understand, select and implement the most appropriate Blockchain solution.With our indepth development and Blockchain knowledge, Acorex was successful in winning a number of projects which needed to be delivered typically in short times scales.My core role was to define an a clear and concise scope for the project by working with Acorex’s development and design teams and suggest an acceptable MVP. Solutions were web, Android and iOS and underlying infrastructure included Azure and AWS, with a variety of technologies such as .Net and SQL Server.Due to the number of on-going Blockchain projects, I was also instrumental in creating several satellite design and development teams in UK, Gibraltar and Spain on a freelance basis to work on these projects, this was a key component for the success of the projects, as needed to ensure the teams built were technically and creatively capable and also worked well together, and had the commitment to work additional hours if necessary to ensure the projects were delivered on time.Based on the project requirements, a key decision I had to make was the most suited Blockchain platform and as many of these Blockchain platforms were in their infancy, another role was to perform research and extensive tests to ensure suitability. Depending on my recommendations, this would be the solution proposed to the client.With the importance of data security and GDPR, I also oversaw this element of the project to ensure a secure, resilient and compliant solution, working with partners that offered advanced penetration testing services. My knowledge of GDPR was long before the May 2018 date, I ensured we future proofed all our Blockchain solutions and were fully GDPR compliant.
