Employment Goals

To work in an ICT or agriculture or logistics business to expand my management, IT and information management skills to build the enterprise. I am an energetic and skilled individual and through IT skill and business intelligence enhance turnover. I plan to develop mobile apps for agriculture and health, publish ebooks, integrate ecommerce into Websites and expand into horticulture crop drones.

I want to grow my musical expertise in performance and gigs which changes society in a positive way better than medicine or infrastructure projects or jobs as it changes the person's soul as man shall not live by bread alone. There is more to the world than materialism and music addresses the spirit which is so vital to develop a healthy society's mind and values.
