ABOUT ME
Since 2004 I have been living in Prague, Czech Republic. Originally I was trained to be a teacher: English, German and Math. I have always worked in IT however with Oracle. Living and working in Prague is like a permanent holiday. My flat is in the centre of the city and we have a cottage in the mountains. So I have the best of both worlds.
PHILOSOPHY
I like two statements which are actually from a previous employer. Be true to yourself and others. Meaning be who you want to be and be honest about it. The other one is cool head, warm heart. Take care of business but be kind and generous when this is required.

Working in Romania in Medias made a big impression on me. It is like travelling into another century. Everywhere people are driving around with carts and horses. The modern world has also arrived there already however.
