What's my professional experience
" I started my first creative career as a Consuldeveloper - coined from two words: "Consultant & Developer" - which is the first job I created for myself in 1998. A Consuldeveloper is a job creator. My main job duty was to listen to "jobseekers" talk about what type of job they wished they had. I had made a bold decision a few years earlier to dismiss college. I just thought I could become the next Bill Gates or Richard Branson. I knew I had a knack for creating enterprises, I was bored after first semester of "University" and I was just a mad genius around any computer. I put in the work at "Aptech", spent 3 years learning and acquiring programming skills like C++, JAVA, C#, VB, .NET FRAMEWORKS, Web Development {HTML,Swish,Action Scripts, Javascripts, SQL....endless list} With this I have worked in Startups, Advertising, IT, Entertainment and then I got my aha!"

What's my creative experience
....I started my second creative career as a talent scout - I needed a network. I needed to collaborate with other creative minds. I needed to create an enterprise. I dreamed of launching a startup. So, I started attending fashion shows, freelancing as a fashion writer. I started having detailed conversations about planning and attending fashion events, eventually booking gigs for myself as a backstage photographer and booking new models for shows. I had expanded my aha moment - my passion for Information technology made me create a unique startup. With this I have worked in Startups, Fashion, Photography, Media and Entertainment.
