Short Bio

I have more than 25 years experience in software development and IT industry. I have matured a significant competency in distributed applications, starting in the other century when it wasn’t even a buzzword - JINI, anyone? I have worked as a designer, lead architect or coach in many different projects for many different companies. I had the chance to work with a lot of methods, processes and tools and had the opportunity to teach and talk about what I have learned in ILT (Instructor’s Led Training) courses, in seminars in front of hundreds of people, at the University as well as on national TV, greatly enhancing my communication skills.
