Bio
Shane Bailey
Yan is currently producing System Architecture documentation on the National Cervical Screening Program Register technical environment. I have worked with Yan previous to securing him for this short term Architectural contract. Yan takes ownership, a team player, does what's right, is practical, easy to work with, has the ability to communicate ideas at the appropriate level for the audience and most importantly he is a solution architect that delivers (no excuses). He is NOT an architect that works in his own lofty world or baffles you with bullshit. He is a worker. I would have no hesitation recommending Yan or obtaining his services in the future.
