Callum Shields

I come from Ireland, and I have lived in Rotterdam for over ten years now. For many years, I worked in the HORECA industry, first as a bartender and later as manager.

During

Corona I transitioned into other types of work to increase my earning potential. I have worked in solar panel installation and scaffolding industries with significant physical work experience. I am friendly, hard-working and responsible, with good communication skills.

I am proactive, able to learn new skills fast, and adapt to new situations easily. I am attentive to detail, and enjoy working as part of a team as well as independently. I have always been interested in technology and digital tools, keeping updated on tech trends and markets.
