ABOUT ME
Extroverted, serious and orderly.
When I was a little more than 5 years old, my father bought me an Amstrad CPC 6128. That model already had a disk, instead of tape, and 128KB.
A little later a 512KB Amstrad PC1512 came into our house. I remember that we bought the memory chips and we expanded it, quite an experience at that time to open a computer and to plug those chips into the motherboard.
At home both mom and dad played Gauntlet and later Lemmings. Watching them in front of the computer was the norm.
Everything else -almost- came as a matter of course...
A fan -evidently- of technology, design, sports and model airplanes. Passionate about classic cars and in love with the authentic Porsche 911.
Communicative and passionate at work, I love what I do.
I have been, am and will be involved 200% in any project I decide to be part of. I do not understand the work in any other way, to support to the maximum with the only goal that the team and the company grow.
I like order. Things should be done after thinking, not before.
Everything can be done better, there is always something that can be made more efficient in any process. Achieving that efficiency is what makes the difference.
