Experiences |
||||||||||
| Product management: | As product manager I've been responsible for developing and writing
product roadmaps and manage product from requirement specifications through
release together with customers, partners, marketing, sales,
production, architecture design and development individuals. |
|||||||||
| Project management: | As a project manager I've been managing two international projects
in Sweden and Hungary with frequent onsite presence. In both projects I were in close contact with the
customers project management and project group - including end-users. A
crucial part of the management was to control requirements, set
expectations, manage error reporting and
change requests and to be a direct part of the actual software development
design within the project. |
|||||||||
| Software development: | I have been software developer on several
projects and have been part of building a C++ component based software
platform for compliance solutions. I'm a true believer in standards and
would always try to find new ways that can enforce the use of these
standards (e.g. design patterns or tools). Building or using utilities and tools that
can help in making better software have always been one of my main
interests. |
|||||||||
| Teaching: | Throughout the years I have been teaching.
First as an assistant teacher in several computer courses at Danish
Technical University. In my current job I have developed several courses for
our international customers. |
|||||||||
| Technical Writing: | As product manager and developer I've been responsible for writing
technical and user guide documentation of high quality. |
|||||||||
Synopsis |
||||||||||
| Resumé: | After finishing my Master Degree in 1994 I started in a small department (15-25 persons) within CRI that developed compliance solutions for the international market and branded under the name ESKORT. I have been in the same department ever since and worked with the same people - even though different companies during the years formally have overtaken the management of the department. By September 2007 the department was established as independent Danish company under the name Intracom IT Services Denmark A/S but 100% owned by Intracom holdings, a Greek based IT company. By 1994 I was involved in the development of the first C++ based Windows version of ESKORT for the Swedish market. After a successful conversion to 32-bit Windows I overtook the project management responsibility for the Swedish project in 1995. After a successful delivery in 1996 I went back to software development. I'm a high believer in that to be successful part of the IT industry you need to be up front with the technical details. Only in that way you're able to - as a manager - to discuss the different problems (satisfactorily) that may arise within a project. After a period with development I went on with management by being a project manager for ESKORT Hungary until the project finished successfully in 1999. In recent years I've been working as product manager for one of the largest product solutions in the department (called ESKORT Audit Support). Throughout the years I have always been involved in actual design and programming on the sideline to my managing roles - for me it is not a matter of one-of but both-of. When I'm doing software development I'm usually involved in the basic C++ modules of solutions. I'm using design patterns, component based design, web design, tools and techniques for build, production and release management. Two of my interests lies in User Interface Design and Compiler Design, though in recent years its getting harder to find the time to catch up on these subjects. |
