About

Professional summary

I am a professional with over 30 years of experience leading complex, multi-million-dollar technology projects internationally. I specialize in the modernization of legacy systems (Adabas, Natural, COBOL, PL/1, Assembler, etc.), as well as in the implementation of modern technologies such as microservices architectures, development in Java, Angular, and React, and migration to cloud environments (IBM Cloud, AWS, Azure). I have worked with large corporations and public entities, managing multidisciplinary teams and strategic alliances in Europe and the Americas. My approach combines a deep understanding of traditional systems with the latest capabilities to transform IT environments. I am looking for new opportunities as a CTO or Strategic Consultant. I have full availability and a driver's license (B), which facilitates geographical mobility and flexibility for national and international travel.
