Short description:

You could call me a genuine self-made man; most of my knowledge is gathered through self-study, combined with real life experience of working with top-notch people in the industry. I see myself as being a sponge for knowledge and a creative, motivated and professional problem solver. I love working with attention to detail to minimize the problems that can and will arise later. I can quickly adapt to a new domain and a new way of working and am always eager to do the hard work needed to master that new domain.
