At this point in my career and business life I have established an exemplary mix of experience and credentials.
The chronological history of my career shows career choices that have challenged me while I have delivered
results while working in measured, professional environments.
I have a solid list of projects completed in hardware, software, network establishment and maintenance all
within dynamic team environments. Problem solving within tight frameworks and difficult circumstances have
been a key part of my career. That skill set has worked in tandem with my ability to create and implement long
term solutions in not only software but in key areas of policy, regulation and leadership. Each step of my
progression has been complemented with technical training and skill certification. A full list of my designations
is attached.
My biography includes important skills that differentiate me. I was born and raised in Australia to parents of
Russian descent with a childhood home life where Russian was my first language. To this day I maintain full
fluency in all aspects of the Russian language. A strong family life has informed many of my decisions,
including career stability and careful planning when I ventured into self employment, business building and
consulting.
I am currently working with existing clients in my computer security consulting firm, IvanoffCSI. I offer full
security audits, investigation and remote back-up solutions to my clients. My strong entrepreneurial success is
an important part of my ability to create workable solutions within a corporate structure. I understand the
demands of today s business environment. I am looking to new challenges in the corporate world, working with
dynamic teams to create and deliver solutions across large scale technology platforms.
