As an MSc graduate in computer science, I began my career as a programmer. Very quickly my interest in taking initiative and working beyond my assigned tasks, as well as my ability to rapidly assimilate information led me to become more involved in many other aspects of software development, including but not limited to analysis and design, both technical and graphical. Indeed, I thrive on challenges. Consequently, I prefer to engage heavily on each project I’m involved with and am typically given a high level of responsibility on any team or in any organization. Over the course of my career, I have moved from working in the area of software development to focus on the improvement of the business itself, including in the areas far outside of the actual software development process. I found that my experience in agile techniques, human interactions in teams and between a project's stakeholders was very useful for my work in process improvement in general.Most recently, I was in charge of a department focusing on continuous improvement of development processes for a global software integrator and its customers, and on the training and coaching of development teams and organizations as a whole. It is in this domain that I feel most valuable today. I feel that my solid technical background and experience on both small and large teams, in both hierarchical-structured and agile teams is beneficial for this type of coaching and leadership, especially in the case of software development teams. Optimizing the teams, as well as the interactions between stakeholders is key for success.My ideal assignment is one in which I can use my technical, creative, interpersonal and leadership skills to accomplish long term improvement within an organization, while engaging both with the individuals in the organization, as well as all stakeholders interacting with it.
