While being CTO at ePrometues, I learned to deal with clients, to manage the software development process not only from the technical side but also from the business point of view.

I also learned to define goals and deadlines, manage programmers and assure software quality and system availability.

Recently I become involved with Mobile technologies, developing with the Symbian Operating System and the MicroEdition of Java.

I am currently interested in the growing usage of the video in the web, and in 3d virtual worlds.
