Summary

I am an analytic mind with more than 17 years of business expertise in media technologies, 10 years of it in Solution Architecture. I like anticipating what customer wants and needs and work together with sales team to give a proposal best shape for my company's win. I also like delivering projects within scope, time, and budget and keeping an eye on opportunities for up-sale. You see me working within a team collaborating and sharing my knowledge and experience and also you see me working alone fulfilling the tasks I took on. You will see me customer meetings most of the time handling project delivery and sometimes escalations. Then, you will also see me in internal meetings negotiating with product teams for a feature request defining the scope and acceptance criteria and also with engineering teams helping them troubleshoot a bug by providing them with evidence and findings. You will also see me in roadmap discussions with customers trying to align their vision with the company I work for.

I delivered many projects of TV platforms of Telco operators across the world helping them launch or enhance premium TV services serving millions of STBs and OTT devices. I am comfortable with and enjoy doing presales, solution architecture, project delivery, system integration, E2E architecture, team lead, team building, and customer facing roles. My motto is trust. I am a catalyzer between my customer and my company.

Technologies and concepts I deal with encompass the following but not limited them: SaaS model, cloud native TV platform for OTT and IPTV, CDN, OSS/BSS, Headend, Packager, DRM, geo-redundancy. My goal is continued success by mixing my confidence in the areas of my expertise together with challenges in emerging topics and steer through ever-changing domain of Media and Entertainment. I aspire to be in an environment that provides opportunities to grow and a space where I can share my skills and knowledge with other people to create motivation and synergy. My biggest strength is my international work experience across the world and dealing with unknown without getting too worked up. I know how to deal with challenging environments and work cultures. I like to take special care on figuring out what is most important for clients, as well as colleagues and partners. I like getting my hands dirty, solve problems vertically on a daily basis by deep dives as well as maintaining full picture in the horizon. I care about ethics, equality and environment we live in. I consider myself an audiophile. I like nature, art, sports and politics.
