career:
electronic engineering graduate
-> embedded micro and radio systems programmer and hardware integrator
-> internet consultant (before anyone ever heard of it) and web-site developer (remember Netscape server?)
-> senior systems admin at an ISP
-> internet consultant and web developer at a startup
-> senior systems engineer at an e-commerce division of a large bank

phew! and I only just turned 41, so a few years left for a few more changes of career!
