Argentina/Canada

Senior Software Architect McAfee Jan 2020–Aug 2022

Identity team Waterloo, Canada

• I designed the Identity Monitoring solution from the ground up, including the development of APIs, flows, and other key components. This was the first privacy-oriented offering released by McAfee, and it was a critical addition to our product lineup. In my role, I worked closely with product managers and legal teams to ensure that the solution met all necessary compliance requirements. I also implemented additional functionality to support our operations teams and ensure that the solution was scalable to support hundreds of users.
• I successfully led the integration(with an external provider) and implementation of virtual cards and email offerings for one of McAfee's major partners. This project was critical in maintaining our relationship with the partner and gave us an edge over competitors in the market. I leveraged my expertise in software design and project management to ensure that the project was delivered on time and within budget.

TrueKey team Canada/Argentina

• YAP(code name) multi factor authentication: I designed the authentication solution, ensuring that our users' data remained secure and protected.

In my role, I designed and helped to implement the integration capabilities between PasswordBox and YAP. This allowed us to consolidate teams and ensure that we released TrueKey on time.
• TrueKey Authentication service: Leveraging OpenID Connect and our multi-factor authentication technology, I designed the capabilities for the TrueKey cloud service. Although the product was never released, my contributions were critical in developing this innovative and forward-thinking solution.
• Transition to India: When the original project team was disbanded and the project was transferred from Canada to India, I was entrusted with the role of sole architect. In this critical position, I took ownership of the project and worked diligently to ensure its success. Using my technical expertise and problem-solving skills, I was able to quickly familiarize myself with the details of client and backend components(not designed by me) and take the necessary steps to ensure a seamless transition. My ability to work effectively in a team or individual setting allowed me to guide the transition to completion and achieve the desired outcomes.
