Let's collaborate:

Despite my strong interests in art, sport, travel, animals, etc, I am still an engineer at heart, and natural problem solver. If you need someone who is full of passion, has expertise in technology, and truly believes in the power of teamwork, tell me what you have in mind and let us make things happen.

In the meantime, with Matador, I will be posting some writing and photos that will hopefully get noticed.
