Technical Project Manager in software delivery, integrating airport systems for ADB Safegate – Aerivo.

Greece

Message

At ADB Safegate – Aerivo, I owned technical delivery for integration initiatives across international airport deployments, connecting customers, engineering teams and business-unit leadership. I delivered real-time data-exchange interfaces between airport subsystems, airlines and ATC systems, and directed plans to migrate legacy applications to AWS and Azure.

As an independent Technology Consultant, I gather requirements, design solutions and evaluate vendors for RFP/RFI processes, presenting findings to C-suite audiences. Across my work in aviation software and systems integration, I’ve also led RFP responses, managed distributed engineering teams, and delivered integration platforms and CI/CD improvements.
