About Me
Passionate about IT since childhood, I've set my foot in many facets of the business: building datacenters, clouds, and software, managing teams and projects, and overseeing technology strategy and presales. Always interested in learning about everything human and technical. In my free time, I enjoy travelling, good food, and movies.
