Skills

I have always been the kind of person that likes learning new things, and trying to understand how things work. I have a hungry and inquisitive mind. I also like putting what I know into practice, in a creative and innovative way. So over many years I have accumulated numerous skills and abilities.

I have always worked with computers, in some way or another. I like the challenge of programming computers, as well as assembling hardware and making it “come alive”. I enjoy sharing my enthusiasm with others, explaining the “magic” in a way that is accessible to people of various abilities and backgrounds.
