Greetings,
I am an Engineer-System Technician. I have a total of 10 years of formal

While my experience and interests have led me to specialize in Digital Signal
Processing and Embedded Systems Programming, Technical support and
Exploitation of Radio Electronic and Information Systems. My skills could
be applied to various Information and Communication Technology areas.
I have been informed by close friends resident in New Zealand that the
country offers one of the best “work-life” balanced environments in the
world and I am keen to experience this for myself and thus seek suitable
employment in New Zealand.
Some of the personal attributes I offer your organization are:
Very strong problem solving skills and an inventive-engineering
midset;
Excellent analytical and very strong creative solution and team skills;
Highly self-motivated and have the ability to multi-task, set priorities
for multiple projects and work on implementation with little
management;
Solid interpersonal skills to interface with co-workers and customers;
Effective decision making skills with a professional, business-focused
attitude;
Availability to work weekends and\or off hours as necessary to meet
the organization’s needs;
Good written, presentation and verbal communication skills.
