It's boring to start with 'highly motivated individual' and I'm not the 'boring' type of person (even though I am the 'highly motivated' type)...
I love facing challenges and solving problems, so any type of work that involves these two key elements intrigues me. I equally enjoy complex software engineering problems, as well as real-world business challenges; people, it turns out, are far more complex systems than their software counterparts.
Outside work, I am an athletic and active person who loves open source communities, team sports, and spending time near (or under) the sea.
