  As the lead architect for two projects and associate architect in several others, I was responsible for choosing technologies, designing robust, secure and scalable solutions for both private and public cloud infrastructures, communicating decisions to management and consulting cloud services. Both projects I led were critical services used throughout the group, and demanded high level of performance, availability and scalability. At the same time, I was working as a senior security engineer, responsible for performing API reviews, code reviews and providing consulting for other groups about secure design.

Except for the product's proprietary language, C++ was used for custom extensions and Python, Javascript and VB6 were used for other tooling.

  • Designed and implemented almost all infrastructure code.

  • Responsibile for revision control and integration (including development of custom revision control tooling) and deployment code.

  • Extended the COTS product with GUI and logic components written in C++ (either as COM components or plain DLLs).
