A 13+ years experienced, highly enthusiastic and professional IT Consultant with leading-edge expertise, passion, and a sense of humor to deliver high-ROI technology consultancy, ideas and plans in addition to technology business models and IT standards.

A technology pinch-hitter excelling in many aspects of modern frameworks like DevOps, bridging the IT Operations (ITIL) and IT Development (SCRUM), with particular interest in IT consultancy services.

Enthusiastic proponent of technology always seeking opportunities on- and off-the-job to make the latest innovations accessible to the widest possible customers.

I consider myself a true IT guru because I spend almost every waking hour planning, scripting, learning, reading, searching or sharing. I love Information Technology and couldn't imagine doing anything else.

Outside of the bits world, I enjoy adventures, biking, playing piano, traveling & socializing as I'm not a boring nerd ;)
