CURRICULUM VITAE

Professional Info

I could fill this space with clichés like saying that by hiring me, your company will reach astronomical profits due to my superman powers and decades of experience... but no.
I am professional and I try to dedicate myself to the fullest. And I'm willing to prove it.
Do not get me wrong, I try to avoid making mistakes, but some times it happens.

But I'm the first one to recognize and correct them.
The truth is: "more than learning new things, is when I learn something new in things I already know, that I realise there is still so much to learn."
And that makes me excited. And this is perhaps the best feature that defines me - I'm an enthusiast. Another one is maybe "working buddy".

I like to help. I have found that by helping we'll face new experiences and get a better understanding of others perspective. But I don't do it on purpose, or just because.

I blame enthusiasm ... and we are rolling twards cliché... sorry.
But if love what I do and be enthusiastic to learn new things and people every day sounds like a cliché...

So be it. I do not care as long as I am happy.
