About

I'm an engineer that can offer over 9 years of experience of work in automation/DCS field. During that time I gained not only technical knowledge but also learned how to find solutions to problems on my own. I can also call myself an experienced traveler. My work so far gave me an opportunity to perform my duties not only in the offices in France but also on on-shore sites in Netherlands, on gas platforms located on the North Sea and as far as in remote town in Africa, Soyo. Almost in all cases I wasn't directly supervised and I had to work with clients. I'm really quick to learn new systems - at Yokogawa it took me mere 4 months from start of my traineeship there to being sent on the platform in the North Sea as a standalone engineer for commissioning. It means that getting up to speed with new automation system shouldn't be a problem for me. Currently I want to focus my personal development on control systems and automation related fields. I’m interested in challenging job that requires creative thinking and international travel.
