I am a creative and motivated person, enjoying and effectively working in a team and individually. My educational background (business management, computer and information science) and work experience (finance, manufacturing and IT) makes me flexible and open-minded in solving different problems.
Teaching, doctoral and post doctoral studies helped me developing good communication and interpersonal skills. While on the technical side, I improved programming skills and developed strong analytical skills.
In general, I am enthusiastic in continued learning, sharing and applying knowledge and experience.
