Experience

CTO @ Oceans HQ

2020 - Present

» IT Consultant

2012 - 2020

More than a decade of driving digital innovation, defining industry standards and pushing the limits in building fantastic scalable and reliable solutions that made us the top choice for the Maritime Registry sector.

Designed and implemented OHQCloud running on bare-metal in multiple DCs to give the required security confidence required by Naval Administrations.

Security Analyst Sr. Advisor @ SecureWorks

2016 - 2020

You can't hate the security audit guy when his report also includes customized recommended approach to fix this issue instructions.

Team Leader - Linux, Networking & Security @ Cegeka

2013 - 2016

Awesome teams, fantastic projects, a full plethora of vendors, solutions and implementations, unexpected diving lessons into corporate politics. Oh wait...

IT & Systems Manager @ NAVX

2011 - 2013

Lots of in-car HUDs and mobile applications querying geo content and related information would put to sweat a regular production database. Challenge accepted and brilliantly met.

Telco systems administrator @ AVOLO

2007 - 2012

Unleashing Linux at Telco grade from full-mesh routing to traffic shaping and even to VoIP routing (plus IVR, biling and what not).

Telco network administrator @ FIBERNET

2004 - 2007

Did I mention Wi-Fi end-to-end links, fiber optics, carrier grade switching? And also Linux - if possible, on any device.

Telco network administrator @ PCNET

2002 - 2004

Back then, DSL was still a thing, ISDN was still alive, 802.11b radios were used for P2P links, the licensed 3.5GHz spectrum was starting to become noisy. But top speed for a full Internet-café was likely 128kbps (smile while contemplating the 10GBe on my workstation).
