Continuous improvement is the driving factor of my personality. In addition to that, my curiosity leads me to a very wide range of interests and need to get to the bottom of it and get involved. This reflects in my personal interests, such as travelling, sports, art, and my frequent involvement in social organisational committees. Moreover, feedback consistently emphasizes my positive attitude, solution-seeking and pragmatic mindset.
