I became interested in IT during my final year of high school, where my skills gave me the opportunity to manage the IT department there. IT appeals to my long standing interests in business and mathematics, and I feel is a function that would allow me to see projects through from start to finish, working relatively autonomously.

I found overtime that I had a knack for problem solving and being able to communicate this to people. From there, I found that I could utilize this to start up a company that would fuel my passion for innovation while giving me the resources I needed. This company opened more opportunities to learn more and at the same time introduced me to the world of Media and Advertising. I took this opportunity to explore this exciting new medium and learn more from it.

I learned that my expertise in IT could be used to expand and provide new services to the media field, accelerating me to new positions and innovations in the media field as well as the IT field. Learning customer requirements and turning those into functional products that enriched the company, through hands on approach, I have implemented, tested and finalized multiple successful projects.
