Welcome to my Portfolio

About Me

Hello, My name is Waldemar Asmus, and I am an IT specialist with a diverse range of interests within this field.
From a young age, I have been fascinated by the world of technology. With a curious mind and a desire to understand how things work, I have always been drawn to the field of computer science. The challenge of solving problems through logical and abstract thinking, as well as turning an idea into reality, is highly enjoyable to me. In 2019, I was fortunate enough to turn my passion into a career when I began an apprenticeship at the WBS Training School. Currently, I am working at GUS ERP and am excited to continue learning and growing in my profession.


My strengths

I am a fast learner who is able to adapt to new situations and concepts quickly.
Maintaining organization through the use of notes and documentation allows me to effectively manage my tasks and fulfill my commitments.
I have a strong sense of responsibility and am willing to take on tasks that others may avoid or feel not responsible for.
Regardless of whether I am working on a team or individually, I always ensure that my tasks are completed to the best of my ability.
When I encounter inefficiencies and problems within the work process, I like to take the initiative to identify them and actively seek out solutions to discuss with my superiors and colleagues.
I am proud to have established a reputation as a highly organized, helpful, and dependable individual throughout my educational and professional experiences.
