He has good inter-personal skills to work with others constructively and effectively. With over 30 years of experience in the computer software industry and having absorbed many key expertises including software requirements capturing, analysis and design using standard methodologies (such as UML) and standard design patterns (such as Core J2EE Design Patters, Enterprise Integration Patterns, SOA Design Patterns, and others). He is soundly experienced in both Linux (10 years), Windows Server (15 years) and a proficient coder in Java (over 15 years), C/C++
(over 15 years), Python, Ruby, Javascript, Assembly language, PowerScript, Chef, among others. Furthermore, this candidate has specialized in the latest Cloud Computing technology (notably Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure) and is highly qualified to find effective software solutions and to resolve very difficult problems that often arise in software projects. He is advanced in creating software infrastructure as software in the Cloud. He is also trained and experienced Software-Defined-Networking
(SDN) and Network-Function-Virtualization (NFV) in the context of software solutions. Debugging software is one of his numerous specialties, in which he excels at, having previously worked at the lowest levels of software (assembly language, C language, in real-time). His knowledge of currently available software frameworks and libraries are strong assets for any software projects.
