This week started our new consultant Iljitsj!
Iljitsj loves efficiency and is always looking for how things can be made simpler and more insightful. For example, he once used Excel to figure out the underlying logic of the SIMS game so he could play his best game himself. Iljitsj previously worked as a trainer-coach at a telecom company and there he found that behind the scenes not enough was being done with data knowledge. And so he created dashboards in Power BI, which provided insight into the progress of employees within their training, quickly showing where extra attention was needed.
"I enjoy efficiency. Why ride on a soft bike tire?"
Iljitsj he obtained his Propedeuse Technische Natuurkunde at the Haagse Hogeschool, only to decide that he was also very interested in the history of Eastern Europe. So he switched to a new study, Slavistics and East European Studies. He learned to speak Polish and even worked for a time as a Polish-Dutch translator!
However, he found translation a solo profession and Iljitsj missed the contact with colleagues. So he ended up in the telecom world, where he started as a salesman in a store and grew into a trainer-coach. And now he joins Solid Online as a consultant. He is looking forward to it, especially because Solid Online offers solutions for issues that he previously encountered himself. For example, preventing the manual entry of hours from timesheets.
Someone who is always looking for efficiency and what can be automated will definitely feel at home at Solid. Iljitsj, we welcome you!
