I like solving problems and designing/building new applications from start to end. Investigate problems (technical as well as processes) and find solutions which will really make a difference.
I think my biggest strength lies in the fact that I have a practically orientated mind and have a tendency to simplify things so the basics become clear and easy to work with.
