Ferdy Christant’s Summary
I'm a versatile, passionate and broadly educated IT professional with 10 years of experience in a complex global organization.
I'm certified and experienced in Lotus Notes, PHP/MySQL, Java, .NET and Sharepoint, from end to end:
- architecture and consultancy
- development
- project management
I have been deeply involved in enterprise level strategy creation, including technology positioning, software factories, offshoring, process improvement/standardization and knowledge management.
I'm very active in my profession outside my day job, I am self-educating and always looking to learn new things. I blog, write technical articles, develop open source software and am passionate and experienced in web design, web development and usability engineering.
Despite my broad base, I'm a humble, loyal and down-to-earth person who simply looks to provide companies the best possible solution given the requirements and circumstances.
