Philosophy & Leadership 📖
I’m a passionate technologist with a recognized customer-centric attitude working for over twenty years in IT. I strive to provide my teams with the best solutions taking into account their needs and expectations. This produced dozens of successful projects from launch to landing.
In my role as Enterprise Architect with Google Cloud, I design and develop architectures for on-premise and cloud-based systems to solve large global organizations’ business requirements. I have a natural leadership that expresses best when organizing cross-functional teams around concrete goals.
Cybersecurity for the Quantum Era 🛡️⚡ — Quantum computers are expected to soon break traditional public-key cryptography (RSA-2048 / ECC). Transitioning enterprise systems to Post-Quantum Cryptography (FIPS 203/204 — ML-KEM / Kyber & Dilithium) hybrid mode ensures long-term protection against store-now-decrypt-later attacks. Become crypto-agile.
