About Me
I'm a detail-oriented technology executive with extensive leadership experience expediting cloud transformation, AI-driven process improvement, and scalable software architecture for global enterprises. With proven expertise in driving cross-functional leadership, operational efficiency, and platform modernization across insurance technology, financial technology (fintech), and investment management, I leverage strong operations management skills and strategic approach to lead execution of high-impact technical innovation and business growth initiatives.
Currently, I'm orchestrating the development of compliant, scalable cloud solutions for MK Holding, integrating large language models to automate insurance claims and reducing manual processing times. My approach combines global team leadership with digital transformation & legacy migration initiatives to facilitate the transformation of legacy systems for greater cost effectiveness and scalability.
My technical expertise spans cloud computing, data visualization, IT strategy execution, agile methodologies, UX/UI design, and big data artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) integration. I excel in project planning, software development life cycle (SDLC), resource management, frontend development, backend development, API design, full-stack development, program management, business strategy implementation, and cost optimization.
