Profile
I’m multi-skilled and highly adaptive. My primary areas are mobile software development,
project management and teaching/training, but I also enjoy trying new challenges.
I’m highly experienced in managing and coordinating multiple geographically dispersed teams,
primarily in agile environments, as well as ensuring proper coordination between different
corporate areas (such as marketing, quality assurance, development and management).
I like solving problems in a practical way, using my analytical capabilities, “out of the box”
thinking and creativity.
