Different jobs in Hafnia from Middle ware programmer in Hafnia User Service Center to Drifts programmer with development tools (own developed Quality Assurance System) as special.

At the end I was used as unofficial "Oracle", meaning that I was able of handling all kinds of problems or redirect people to the right expert, but it was not my official work. Some times this came to some conflicts, in the end I was looking for another job.
