About Me

	My late father was a keen believer that what we used to denote “big” problem was actually a combination of several intertwined smaller problems; either exclusive or inclusive. The key for solutions, he told me, was to, first, detach the smaller problems and work on each one of them.
Similarly, I see problems as an interesting mix of complexity, mess and chaos. Sometimes, problems are merely uncovered opportunities and the key for solutions is to actually observe it really carefully.
	Few years ago, a team of management consultants concluded me – through series of long questionnaires – as a person who: is motivated largely by ideas and opportunities to achieve something new, likes to develop new – and better – schemes (or ways of work), is easily fascinated by opportunities and possibilities, is enthusiastic to organize, particularly of projects, enjoys producing order from ambiguity.
I infused a sense of order in possibly everything I do: easily understood yet complex spreadsheets, logically-flowed presentations with messy animations, data-driven multimedia served as reporting tool, systematically organized documents and files.
	My experience working at Tripatra-Gulf Consortium as an Information System Administrator in a very complex project – eighteen contractors submitting report at the same time – has paved my career to creating order. It is becoming truer when I joined the British Council as Information Officer and, now, Project Officer.
	Interestingly, it applies in as well as out of the office. My other profession as a wedding and party organizer and decorator at Cherry Blossom Party brings in all kinds of different vendors and people to achieve the envisioned goals set forth by the bride and groom to be.
	Unlike what some colleagues admitted, I don’t see my self as creative. I work with creative people to get the most for our clients. I do draw and sketch, yes. However, they’re largely not for aesthetical purpose, instead, to ensure problems are clearly observed and solutions are properly described.
	Being an assessor-developer, I am very much interested to take part in a messy, chaotic and complex situations that demand me to observe, identify and propose solutions without being the spotlight of the show itself.
	From chaos to order…
