Accomplishments

    My most satisfying accomplishment has been at Schneider electric, where a POC on delivering REST ful services for serving catlog product data and search , based on AWS and on cloud technolgoies eventually replaced the main service (done by a different Org). The reason was that our POC service was proven to be scalable and highly performant as opposed to the then existing solution (provided by another org)
