Resume
About Me
My career has been a series of ups and downs, starting out as a traveller and going to 11 schools, getting my first computer (386DX 33 8MB ram!) at 16, which gave me a passion, the desire to build businesses, and a burnout, which I fortunately was able to circumvent by moving to the UK, and later by moving for an 11-month holiday on a tropical island (Reunion Island), followed by a more stable job allowing me to get prestigious IT and business certifications and strategic roles.
