Quick Bio
I’m a Vancouver-based web analyst and strategist who worked in the IT filed for more than a decade, covering various segments: Internet, e-government, marine, multimedia, healthcare, aerospace, tourism, show business, and a few others. I had positions starting with web marketing, web architecture, creative design, development, project management and social media, to name a few. In time, I became a strong supporter of Open Source and free culture, a passion that put me in charge with the chairing of eLiberatica IT Conference and traveling to Europe in the summers.
I was born in Romania and emigrated to Canada together with my family in the summer of 2003.
In the hours I’m not managing web projects, and besides helping eLiberatica and supporting the growth of IT community, I enjoy spending time with my beautiful wife and kids. I like good movies, meeting people, traveling, outdoor activities and I pray for time to read books and write more on this blog ;)
