I have been working with system engineering and software development within financial, governmental, entertainment and gaming/gambling industries for more than 25 years. I have a passion for problem solving and building sustainable and innovative solutions. I consider providing business value to customers and users is the foremost aspect of working with technical solutions and I strongly subscribe to the approach of data driven decision making.

What I have found during my years of experience is that there is more than one way to solve a problem, and everything is a matter of understanding and deciding on the desired trade-offs. I have also found that learnings from failures are important part of one's personal development and highly contribute to future success stories. I believe in collaboration and teamwork and that providing clarity and working towards common goals are the key factors for successful execution and gaining results.
