innovation

• With a keen eye for aesthetic design, I prioritize for a positive user experience, modular and reusable software design, and beauty of form as well as high quality system functionality.

• Depending on whether the objective is to raise funds or go to market, I architect a phased system development life cycle that distinguishes between a proof of concept, minimum viable product (MVP) and a fully functional system.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS

• We Architect-ed and invented the world’s 1st enterprise blockchain enabled Digital Workplace. Formal Media™ is a contract management system that synchronizes proof of record and process for digital objects with a blockchain smart contract ledger. The solution is now available for sale in the prestigious Microsoft One Commercial Partner Catalog (OCP).
