Some of my notable achievements include building and managing global delivery teams, effectively delivering multiple strategic projects and programs, and managing IT service delivery and transitions for various organizations. Throughout my career, I have held key roles such as Senior Development Manager, IT Manager, and Implementation Manager. At Genesis, I managed a dispersed backend delivery team and executed strategic company initiatives. During my tenure at Roche/Genentech, I built developer teams and led the design and transition of Genomics Platform services. At Credit Suisse, I led a team supporting the implementation of a global risk reporting platform. My experience also includes managing IT projects at Raiffeisen Bank and Eurobank Ergasias, where I implemented complex programs and ensured smooth transitions to operations. I hold advanced degrees in Finance & International Business and Quantitative Methods & Information Systems, along with certifications in PRINCE2, Agile Program & Project Management, and ITIL.

Best back-end engineers I've ever worked with...​

“I interviewed about a dozen different firms. DevsData LLC is truly exceptional – their backend developers are some of the best I’ve ever worked with. I’ve worked with a lot of very well-qualified developers, locally in San Francisco, and remotely, so that is not a compliment I offer lightly. I appreciate their depth of knowledge and their ability to get things done quickly. “
