Julián De La Rosa

System & Software Developer - Architect - Cybersecurity - Digital Transformation
Santo Domingo,Distrito Nacional

Summary

Systems Engineer, with 28 years of experience, combined in Financial Systems, Digital Channels, Telecom, Development, Research. Successful domain in Digital Transformation.

At heart, a software developer, and yes, with Full Stack mindset, grateful to understand many platforms and tools and still stay focused on delivering business value through quality software.

Open source evangelist. I can discuss the requirements in the company's language and be involved in head-down coding sprints, allowing me to tackle challenging problems from conception to production, design the big picture, and worry about the details.Love creating distributed systems, prototyping with new technologies, and automating the tedious with BPM and RPA.

Since I was not born a genius, knowing my place in the world, developed an intellectual curiosity that fuels a fanatical devotion to skill enhancement and constant learning.

I have also found talent to lead technical projects that require learning new things, drive initiatives and keep nerves down. I have a strong work ethic, a desire to explore new solutions, and a talent for explaining complex things simply. In addition, I am an experienced technical leader who understands that a well-managed team with empowered, committed, and motivated employees is key to successful projects.

Have been called upon to manage large and complex projects requiring technical and people management skills. I believe in leadership for all aspects of development, including planning, design, coding, and testing.

Had the opportunity to be the architect of highly technical and complex projects for small and medium-sized companies.

I have extensive experience in designing, constructing, and delivering enterprise software systems.

Finally worked in various industries and have led projects ranging from one-person dreams to multi-million-dollar endeavors.
