Firstly, I know what I do not know. But, I also know I can learn whatever I want in a short period . This and my ambition for immediate practice of what I learnt can be defined as my strongest point.

As my job requires, I like problems and I love solving those problems. I have an agile mindset on my concerns so I get bored easily with monotonous jobs.

I like numbers and witnessing a growth. When a startup from BUBA's portfolio is doing well by having growing rate of conversion, financials and market share, it is the time I feel really well.
