Summary

Edit Summary

I am passionate about delivering the best solutions to customers by thoroughly understanding their needs and tailoring solutions to meet those requirements. Training is a key focus for me, and my sessions are known for their interactive approach and the depth of content covered. I cater to a wide range of learners, from novices getting started with technology to solution architects seeking solutions to complex production challenges.

I take great pleasure in discussing new technologies with tech enthusiasts, and I find that a career in professional certification training provides the ideal platform for this. I believe Microsoft is a pioneer in technology and innovation, making positive changes in people's lives. As a global leader in digital transformation with an extensive range of services and unparalleled reach, Microsoft embodies the kind of forward-thinking spirit that I am eager to contribute to and leverage in my work.

He asked frequently if we understood something or if we have heard of something, trying to make training more interactive in order to embed better the material.
