About Me
That annoying kid at the front of the classroom who was always asking why…
I was never that guy. I preferred to attend a class for the first week or two, read the entire text-book, and never go to lectures again. It’s not that I’m a rebel, I’m just passionately curious. That’s why I’m looking for a company with a solid foundation and some gaps to fill. I have great experience, lots of energy, and a bit of that “vision thing”. If your company is in need of an asset, I’m your guy.
