It is rewarding when i can say: “Wow, i played a part in this!”
I like to find solutions to technical problems with a
corrective maintenance
approach. I have always had recognition for
doing a good job. Interested in constant learning and improvement of
skills through experience, and also learning from the best. Motivation for
facing challenges and animated by purposes, with engagement.
I went through a time in the 90`s in which quality management and systems
were understood as the key to maintenance and production, and trade.
Following a strong desire for mastery i have multi-valence of knowledge
and experience in a few main fields in which i can improve myself and
to enhance contribution to the success of the team work.
