This is difficult to sum up 15 years + in a IT company where our work evolve all the time and where we always need to learn, teach and adapt. To be Technical Director and CTO is challenging and very inspiring, leading projects and people are always very rewarding on the experience side in the end. Helping Activlan engineers and consultants to find the best solution for our customer needs, validating architectures and projects assisting our customers to design their next IT infrastructure and thinking smart with them are what I love to do.
