mission is to reach equilibrium in my development so I can create ethical balance and positive change.
Objective
I’m an experienced technologist, project manager, social entrepreneur and divergent thinker with over 11
years of professional experience in multiple industries. My professional objective is to dedicate my energy
and my expertise to ethical teams and organisations committed to delivering projects which empower

to deliver my tasks and projects to the highest standards using ethics-driven predictive methodologies
and I’m looking forward to enjoy working with a team of like-minded individuals!

(1995-present) Autodidactism
• Out of pure curiosity and magnetism for learning, I studied a lot of subjects outside my academic
curriculum. My learning path taught me how to correlate everything I know in my problem-solving
pursuits, but most importantly, I have learnt that “it is better to know how to learn than to know”.
• To maintain the balance between my intellect and my physical abilities, I have asked others to
teach me some real-life skills. Therefore I also learnt how to: lead, follow, collaborate, act alone,
innovate, adapt, fight, defend, climb, dive, fish, cook, build a house from foundation to delivery,
fix cars, fix gadgets, balance accounts, sail a boat (with & without an engine), survive outdoor.
• The most important thing I learnt from experience: failure. And from others: how to inspire others.
