C. KEY QUALIFICATIONS

Areas of expertise, general country/region-specific experience I graduated as a Master of Science in Information Technology from Tampere University of Technology in June 2010. For my major I studied Hypermedia and for minor Technology Management. My studies have qualified me with knowledge that will give me a strong base for working in IT related jobs. As a M.Sc. Information Technology I have an education on a wide array of things related to information technology. My major studies on Hypermedia have provided me with expert skills on web design, web implementation, web- programming, web specifications, www-testing, -research and -development. My minor studies in Industrial Management have provided me knowledge about business management, leadership, finances, marketing and ERP systems. After my studies I’ve continued studying and I’ve accomplished a certificate of a SCRUM master as well as a certificate in project management.

I have experience in working with international projects which have been interesting and extremely motivating. I have no difficulties in communicating in English and getting along with people from different countries and cultures. I've been traveling a lot around Europe and Asia. I also did exchange studies in Czech Republic and that taught me a lot about intercultural interaction

I have always been interested in technology and I still am fascinated by new technological developments. This lifelong interest keeps me abreast with changes in technology. I'm a fast learner so I can adapt to new and different work tasks quickly I am also a team player. Playing a team sport (basketball) has taught me a lot about working as a team and getting along with different personalities
