Soft skills

I am curious, synthetic and very friendly. I am truely motivated by challenges and looking for constant optimisation,
resulting in task automatisation as frequently as I can. I am also a good pedagogue, a compulsive helper,
thinking that if a person does not understand is because I must explain another way.
"Enthusiastic, creative and sociable free spirits, who can always find a reason to smile"
