About Me

My specialties include design and implementation of Public & Private Cloud corporate strategies, Corporate ALM & S-SDLC, performance and security reviews of distributed environments.
Reverse engineering is my way of learning which sometimes includes breaking stuff.
I have two children, enjoy reading books and riding bycicle offroad.
