About me
After more than 25 years of professional experience in the prepress industry, I can look back on a wide range of expertise as an artworker and retoucher. In addition, I have more than 15 years of experience in system and network support for Apple-based networks. I enjoy using these skills - or a combination of them - passionately in my daily work.
The automation of recurring daily processes with a clear focus on effectiveness and efficiency is just as essential to me as the configuration of print profiles or the creation of ISO standard barcodes.
I also have a few years of experience as an administrator for Jira and Confluence and I am also very familiar with email marketing in Oracle Eloqua.
Looking forward to hearing from you and to a possible collaboration.
Kind regards
Ralf Kolarsky
