During his tenure with Verizon Data Services, he also managed an Information Security team of more than 30 employees. The wide versatility in multiple computing environments, with a strong understanding of object- oriented technologies, web services and workflow technologies along with BPMN, UML, and Use Case Methods, complements the needs of the team.
