Over the years, I've spent a significant amount of time designing and building enterprise-grade solutions.
I am really passionate about agile leadership, software security, systems development and architecture.
In my current roles as Checkmarx One platform head of engineering and chief architect, I'm leading development of Checkmarx next-generation cloud native platform, advising and coaching a team of software and cloud system architects while working across R&D and product organizations to drive strategic & technical agendas, as well as owning software and security architectures of Checkmarx products.
I love writing blog posts about technology, development practices and engineering management.
