I am currently

Description

Hi! I’m a 50-year-old professional based in Spain, holding EU permanent residency, with over 20 years of experience in IT presales and consulting. I’m currently looking for a different pace of life and a more local, hands-on experience through a work exchange.
I bring a high level of maturity, reliability, and practical problem-solving skills, especially in IT and hands-on support.
I am flexible with the length of stay and open to discussing what works best for both sides.
I speak good English, basic Spanish, and Chinese as my native language. I am quiet, respectful, non-smoking, and value a clean, well-organized environment.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
