I'm a Technical Architect with 17+ years of experience in software development, with 3 years of U.S. experience. My responsibilities have been mainly in designing and developing solutions in the field of Java/J2EE. Over the last 17 years, I have worked on numerous development projects ranging from client applications and GUI libraries, to enterprise level server-side development of n-tiered J2EE applications architected on various middleware platforms and open-source frameworks, and am purely a hands-on engineer.
