Nash Singh, Chief Technical Officer
“I’ve been with Airas Intersoft for about 12 years, with a background as a client-side developer for many Airas Intersoft clients. I now lead the development for a major European Bank involved in Life Assurance leveraging my previous experience. I’ve also been able to transfer my skills from another industry by taking responsibility for iGas application roadmap, building on my entrepreneurial skills. The role is varied, I really enjoy the design side, Airas Intersoft’s solutions are cutting-edge and so the design is always an intellectual challenge. What’s new in this role is the client liaison, in understanding requirements and answering queries.”
“The move to a solutions provider has exposed me to a broader end-to-end development role than experienced client-side. I’m able to understand the wider client brief and my role in it, rather then working on specific and discrete projects. It’s real team work and the people I work with are great fun as well as being extremely good at what they do.”
