IT, Telecoms and Services Consultant/Contractor
United Arab Emirates
I would like to continue to develop my technical skills. I have a keen interest in Virtualisation particularly in the emerging virtualised network servers and their security implications. Eventually, I would like to combine these skills with some further education in business and management to take a role as a CTO or CSO – either for a vendor or an enterprise.
My preference is to work for companies willing to adopt and develop state-of-the-art IT technology. In this environment I thrive on lending my expertise, experience and determination to continually improve technology, security and business processes.
I am a voracious reader of anything I get my hands on - from fiction to history to technical literature.
In my spare time, l love steampunk, travelling abroad, riding and maintaining motorbikes and entertaining friends.
I also very much enjoy visiting, and taking gifts to, my young niece and nephew in the UK.
