SUMMARY
As a web technology enthusiast, and with a strong entrepreneurial spirit, I like to spend time creating web
applications for both professional and personal use.
With both technical and commercial experience and training, I am used to taking into consideration all aspects
of a project so as to always keep a clear view of the objectives.
Thanks to my entrepreneurial spirit, I have always been able to overcome any difficulties and challenges that
have arisen during my web projects.
My decision to settle and apply for a job in Melbourne (Australia) has come from long-term reflection and I am
highly prepared. At first, I will start with a Working-Holiday Visa (WHV) and then I will be looking for long-term
contract possibilities.
