Introduction
It has become impossible to put all my experience on a single or even double-sheet resumé Therefore, the resumé has been split into two parts: first, a PDF-format overview, which contains a sort of "marketing blurb" to explain why you might be interested in me. The second part is this online wiki page, which contains the details about work experience and history which you normally would expect of a resumé.
Please don't hesitate to provide me feedback.
