SlovakiaWhat I'm looking for
I am a senior software consultant and engineer with long-term specialization in GE Smallworld GIS for utilities and telecom networks, combining core product development, customer-facing delivery and long-lived production system maintenance.
I have delivered multi-year maintenance and development engagements (notably for large gas and electricity utilities), contributed to core product improvements including data migration and integration work, and served as technical lead on product development projects.
I emphasize pragmatic engineering: architecture, integration (GDAL), performance debugging, mentoring and agile/XP practices, and I regularly use AI tooling to support refactoring, tests and documentation while ensuring standard review and testing.
