I managed a group of IoT and Edge engineering/tech teams as part of the JLL Smart Building Platform product, known as Envio after being acquired by JLL. Within this role, I served as a solutions architect for the IoT and Edge component of the platform, prioritizing reliability, resilience, security, and scalability. My responsibilities included delivering JLL SBP's Edge Infrastructure, PaaS, and SaaS solutions, with a strong emphasis on secure and pen-tested hardware and systems.

I led a cross-functional technology and operations group, where I played a pivotal role in making decisions that shaped the direction of our products and programs (Envio Smart Buildings Platform). As the manager of the Engineering department, I oversaw multiple teams including Edge Platform, Hardware Design and Production, Embedded Solutions, and BMS Solutions. Additionally, I held the position of Managing Board Member.

I led cross-functional development teams and made critical decisions that shaped the project's direction. Additionally, I provided guidance, mentorship, and management to a team consisting of Hardware Electrical Engineers, Firmware Designers, Embedded Engineers, and Embedded System Designers. Furthermore, I held a position as a Managing Board Member. My responsibilities included overseeing the ideation, design, production, and Go- To-Market readiness of IoT devices.

As the head of Hardware and Edge Platform System Architecture (IoT), I oversaw product roadmaps, definitions, and new product design of Envio's Smart Buildings Platform. I worked closely with in-house hardware design, production, and certification processes. Additionally, I led ideation activities for IoT, building automation systems, and industrial communication protocols integration solutions.

I designed and developed solutions for Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) and Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) as a contributor to the Smart City domain. My involvement in the HoloSphere project included delivering a hardware device that served as a multiprotocol, grid or battery powered Smart City gateway, as well as an Edge platform.

As an Independent Solutions Architect, I fulfilled the role of a Senior FW/HW technology consultant and developer for various projects. One notable project I contributed to was the ZipaTile project, which received recognition as a CES 2017 Innovation Awards Honoree. Additionally, I played a crucial role in the solutioning and development of a data acquisition and remote control and configuration system for Heat Cost Allocators (eHCA). This project was an integral part of a larger Smart City solution.

I have been responsible for overseeing the development of various cutting-edge systems, including an Energy Management System, Integrated Hotel Room Automation System, Smart Buildings Systems, Access Control System, Light Control System, and Wireless Fire Detection and Alarm System. In this role, I have led teams of highly skilled hardware designers, embedded software developers, and PCBA engineers.

I developed engineering and financial applications for various operating systems, including Palm OS (Palm Treo, Centro), Palm WEB OS, iPhone, Android OS, Moblin, Symbian OS, RIM OS (Blackberry), Linux, Windows Mobile, Windows, ALP, and MAC OS (10.+). These applications were distributed through multiple affiliate partners, with a primary focus on the US market.

As a PDA/Handheld software developer, I specialized in crafting language translation software for a range of operating systems, including Palm OS, Win CE, Win Mobile, Pocket PC, Windows, Mac OS, and Newton. Throughout my tenure, I concentrated on creating an Input Method (IME) for Asian charsets and designing educational tools to teach individuals how to write CJK ideographs.
