Специализация: IBM Assembler Specialist
— 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), 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, CTO, or Strategic Consultant. — I am also interested in IBM Assembler opportunities (back to my youth!).
