About

I'm an IT Engineer with over 13 years of experience in various technical and leadership roles. As a Generalist Multipotentialite I have a broad range of interests and profoundly enjoy researching and learning new things, and applying them to achieve impactful and visible business results. I specially enjoy applying my curiosity and creative problem solving skills to troubled and stuck projects. I thrive in environments where I am given the trust and freedom to grow and work on solving difficult problems.
