Summary
At the age of 9, I developed my first computer program. It is a wonderful privilege to pursue a profession out of passion. As an ambitious self-taught learner, I have built a broad set of IT skills over the past 33 years, which I enjoy passing on. Artificial intelligence and "smart algorithms" have always fueled my personal growth. I move confidently along the value chain, dedicate my actions to business success, and put existing and new teams into the fast lane: always on equal footing, agile, with backbone and creativity.
