As web architect, I took part in numerous B2B, B2E and B2C projects. My role was to oversee the performance, security and integration issues of web applications for the benefit of the branches.

Major projects:

- Implementation of a very large proxy infrastructure (1800 servers) using Microsoft ISA 2004 to drastically reduce the response time of web applications;
