Project Planning & tracking, effort estimation (via COCOMO) and reporting towards higher management, using Earned Value approach.

Management of the innovation within industrial environment. This skill implies also the capability to “sell” the innovation within the company and to the customers – i.e.: to be able to convince to pursue a “new way”. Public Speaking, for technical and non technical presentations

Technical Skills Due to the current and past position – thanks also to the experience done as a consultant and to a continuous update studies I do by myself – I've got a deep knowledge of various aspects of the SYS/SW development for complex industrial/military/space systems, especially from the architecture point of view. This “vertical” knowledge is also coupled with a know-how on various COTS tools and allows me to propose state of the art technical solutions during bid phase and during development phase.

My personal goal is a continuous personal improvement from the technical and management point of view, exploring various application domains.
