ABOUT ME
Outgoing, serious, and organized.
When I was just over 5 years old, my father bought me an Amstrad CPC 6128. That model already had a disk drive instead of a tape drive and 128KB.
A little later, an Amstrad PC1512 with 512KB arrived at our house. I remember that we bought memory chips and expanded it, which was quite an experience at that time, opening up a computer and plugging those chips into the motherboard.
At home, both Mom and Dad played Gauntlet and later Lemmings. Seeing them in front of the computer was the norm.
Everything else—almost—came easily...
Obviously a fan of technology, design, sports, and model aircraft. 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 continue to be 200% committed to any project I decide to be a part of. I don't understand work any other way, giving my all with the sole goal of helping 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.
