As the time had come to move back to my birth country (Austria) I took the opportunity between jobs to take a year off. This gave me the chance to realize some projects I had planed for long (like a bicycle hike to the North-cape) and also enabled me to work on my professional profile by adding certifications and skills. The main highlights are: - Personality/skills training with a Coach from ViennaMedia (Communication, Team Motivation) - Oslo - Northcape by bicycle - Part of pilgrims-path in the north of Spain - Certification in ITIL and Prince2 (Foundation level) - Volunteering in social projects to mitigate refugee-crises Show less

I was hired into this very process based and structured company as a senior Network Engineer. By this time I was (and still am) the only fix member of the IT team and apart of essential IT infrastructure the department had to be built up from scratch.
