Gabriel Gheorghiu - posts
As a teenager, Gabriel discovered the wonderful world of science fiction, with its robots and galactic empires. A few years later, when he had his first computer, he was fascinated by the amazing things a “plastic box” can do. When the time came for him to choose a career, it was inevitably related to computers—and since he was very interested in business and management, working with IT systems was the natural choice. Follow Gabriel on Twitter or LinkedIn.
