Andrius Veinšreideris
System Support Team Lead
TransUnion
I turned to IT 25 years ago, so I saw its progress. What has happened during this time is truly impressive and it is probably difficult to find an area that would have improved so much and influenced other technologies. I have improved together and in various roles, from deep technical, to process management.
Now I work as a team leader helping people discover themselves in the IT world. It is an equally interesting experience. I am happy to see someone growing and improving with confidence, but at the same time – making the environment better.
My strength is to talk about IT understandably.
