I am an experienced IT professional with a broad knowledge and understanding of methods, technologies and tools in many areas. Information Technologies are but a tool to reach business goals, never a goal on their own.
My passion for, natural curiosity in and creativity with technologies and tools enables me to resolve seemingly dead-locked situations. My analytical skills and vast experience lets me quickly grasp ideas, strategies, situations or issues and solve them with limited impact.
I enjoy working in small teams, preferably from different backgrounds, on regularly varying projects. Together, a good team (or Scrum) cooperatively achieves a higher goal than would be possible individually.
I have University background in enterprise architectures, information analysis, system analysis.
I specialize in the application of Internet Technologies, Virtualization and Open Source Software in business- or mission-critical IT environments.
I also have strong presentation skills, both on a detailed technical level as well as a middle management level.
