About Me

For twenty years I've helped build the internet as much as it helped build me, always with ethical perspective and the desire to make more of the real world.

With an academic background in mathematics and raised by my family in the love of the humanities, I always strive in work environment where the combined hard skills of a team serve culture.

Strong points

Excellent relational skills and empathetic co-worker / manager.

A down-to-earth approach in the (technical) decision making process built on years of experiences of failures and successes geared towards continuous value delivery.

Excellent communication skills (written & spoken) with a focus on fostering knowledge-sharing and encouraging collaboration.

Curious and avid learner of all things old and new.
