Oleg Dulin

The role of a software engineer is to improve business processes, reduce costs, increase productivity and competitiveness by delivering well thought out computer technology solutions to rapidly evolving business problems

I consider myself a top-tier technologist. I strive in environments where I am given all of the information, contacts and independent decision making capacity with which I can succeed in taking a project from start to finish.

Nothing makes me happier as a professional than an opportunity to solve a complex business problem using cutting edge innovative technology. Nothing brings out my talents better than an opportunity to take an existing system and make it faster, better, more usable and more reliable. I am best utilized in a trusted advisor role working with a visionary entrepreneur or manager to help their projects succeed.
