Experienced professional with a passion for audio and AI.
SpainWhat I'm looking for
I am a seasoned professional with extensive experience in technical support and management, having worked with renowned companies like Oracle and Wang Computers. My career has been marked by a commitment to pioneering premium support solutions in the Middle East and establishing a dealer network across Africa. I have a strong background in consulting and have held leadership roles that allowed me to shape the direction of service departments.
After early retirement, my wife and I embarked on a new adventure by developing a successful guesthouse and olive farm in South Africa. This experience not only honed my entrepreneurial skills but also deepened my appreciation for sustainable practices. Now residing in Spain, I dedicate my time to music, where I sing, play, mix, and master songs, sharing my passion through my YouTube channel.
Currently I am looking for fully remote jobs like data annotation, voice transcription etc.
