Kartik Subbarao’s Summary

I am an information technologist with a strong track record of delivering innovative, cost-effective solutions with open standards and open source-based components. I've worked in large IT organizations and consulted for several Fortune 500 companies, taking new ideas from concept to production.

I contribute regularly to communities of practice, and have successfully led geographically distributed virtual teams. I have helped colleagues achieve breakthrough goals in professional development. I look to build a culture of organizational learning wherever possible.

I believe very strongly in the power of Information Technology to transform our work and our lives in a meaningful and positive way. If you find that my work, skills or interests overlap with your goals, I would like to explore potential opportunities for collaboration.
