Project Developer

Summary

I am a Software Architect & Lead Developer, with leadership and project

management skills, who is equally at home building n-tier web-based or

client-server solutions, using object-oriented technology with Agile

Iterative or Waterfall development methodologies. I have a successful

record in on-time delivery of robust distributed applications to suit

sophisticated requirements of business domains like trading/finance, E-

commerce, communications, manufacturing and others. My strength is getting

in at the earliest stage of conceptual thinking and leading a project

through its full life-cycle (SDLC), slaying whatever dragons appearing

along the way.

Three favorite things of mine to do on the job: work with clients, solve

tricky problems and deliv mission-critical projects.
