Summary: I have a great passion for math and science as subjects and want to further pursue and bring out my interest in the form of teaching, creative work, rectification, optimization and improvement in any existing database / content. Due to my engineering and work background I have the ability to bring a greater synergy between math and science – a greater mixing of the two. I bring to the table not just bookish knowledge but something more. I do realize that as a content developer / editor I would have the power and opportunity to change people`s lives, to help them define themselves. I look forward to blend in creative and improvement roles to take the job challenge even a notch higher and to break and overcome any redundancy that might creep in over time. To excel in what I undertake and to bring a greater energy level to the organisation I work in would be my endeavour and if selected for a suitable work profile, I would certainly be an asset to your organisation.
