About me
I am a mechanical engineer who has worked in product design and development for more than a decade. I have a passion for combining aesthetics with sound engineering practices, as well as a love for product and project management. Get me excited about learning something new, and I'll have a laser focus on becoming an expert no matter what the subject, software, or activity is. Your shared knowledge is my gain, and I hope to give the same in return. Cheers!

I would share one of the certifications with our new PM who is just getting started with Wrike.  And if I could give my certification to one of my other colleagues I would.
