Solution Architect, Java developer, BI Developer, Project Manager

I am passionate about creativity, innovations, continuous improvements and technology. I've been working with IT for more than 20 years and love all aspects of it. My daily work has consisted of both business development and IT issues at a strategic level as well as project management, design and software development. This has given me a lot of breadth in all areas of IT as well as great depth in Enterprise BI and Java based distributed systems.

I am an active Open Source contributor and have created and maintain several open source projects related to Java and R and are also an active contributor to several other open source projects.

Regardless of which role I end up in, I am perceptive and creative. I am self-sufficient while truly appreciative of team work and working in projects. People often comment on my ability to create a positive working climate. I am curious about and interested in everything IT related and have easy to learn new things as well as to identify synergy and coherence that is not obvious to all.
