Architect

Overview


Short Summary

The candidate has been in IT since 2003. During his experience he has worked as a Project and Product Manager and for the last 3 years he has been focusing on Cloud, primarily on AWS and Azure. On the last project he was in charge of the environment in the form of code, dealing with infrastructure and things around security. He is also currently working on architecture, being a Certified Cloud Architect for both platforms (AWS and Azure). In the future, he wants to continue working on architecture as he doesn't like to code more than necessary. He has extensive experience with agile methodologies. He has also implemented these methodologies at a bank as a project manager. English language is not a problem for him and he has been using it daily at work for 10 years.

Availability by agreement.
