I'm most likely the most unconventional IT person you'll meet: IT director, sport bikes rider, fighter, outgoing...
Back in France since January 2018, I worked in China, Shanghai, from 2005 to 2018.
I speak French, English, Chinese, Shanghainese, Spanish and German and traveled across Europe and Asia.
Doing what I do allowed me to gain extensive experiences in IT projets managements, business management, team / people management, and basically anything & everything related to how a company works (taxes, contracts, sales, HR, etc...).
