A Computer Engineer with 20+ years of work experience in the IT sector. During this period, I have fulfilled various duties such as  Software Developer, Support Engineer, Project Manager, Support Team Supervisor, ICT Infrastructure Manager, Service Management Team Manager, to name just a few.
Have worked for renowned international companies such as SAP, Siemens and Mercedes Benz and less renowned but still reputable companies such as PSI, CSB System, IAS, PiWorks and Schattdecor. Thus have a fair understanding of the work cultures and requirements of medium to large scale businesses.
Possible roles that I feel confident with and (in my humble opinion) would excel at would be:
Software Project Manager, IT Security Auditor, ICT Infrastructure Project Manager,  ICT Infrastructure Support Team Leader.
I grew up in Germany, hence speak fluent German. My English language skills I would describe as business-fluent.
