Being a manager aided in improving my organizational skills, time management and respect of deadlines. I have ran several projects from the very beginning to the end both at national and international level developing project management and coordination skills. Organizing trainings has been a way to develop scheduling competences and the ability to keep focus on the objective/s.

Technical Skills Competences

During my formal education I've started self-learning process with focus on IT. I have reached certain technical skills which helped me at the beginning of my career. Throughout my professional experience, I have encountered many different frameworks, methodologies and processes which were implemented by the companies. Knowledge of different method's implementation helped me to make hybrid ones and apply them every day for improving the velocity of work and delivery meeting the established deadlines. Theory and methods in project management and preparation of activities, developed through different courses during my work experience. I have a 360 degrees overview with special focus to details which combined with my intuition helps me to realize and foresee technical issues/risks/assumptions in early project development status.

Social Skills Competences

Since the beginning of my career, I have worked in teams and lead teams in different projects and in intercultural environments. I'm eager to observe the group dynamic to visualize what are the strong points of the group and what could be improved for increment of motivation and productivity and at the end employee's satisfaction., I have acquired a certain confidence in mediating conflicts and/or discussion and try to find compromises, both from my experience as a manager and as a trainer., I am a good listener with positive attitude that helps in good mutual understanding., I have developed an open mind to all culture and willingness to understand, through many years of experience in international companies i.e. products/projects CDI.
