    Achievements

    To describe the first 8 years of my career, I have been approved to say this: "Developed systems and deployed globally to solve mission requirements". After that, I am very proud of the work we did at BTS. As CTO, I led development of a secure LTE core network to enable soldiers to communicate overseas. Our competitor was Ericsson, and we built a solution that was agile, resilient and secure enough to become the first deployed cellular network for military applications.
