Simon H BE370 UNITED KINGDOM
Business Systems Analyst
Hi, I arrived in Bangalore at the start of Jan on a placement. I am a reasonably new recruit to Tesco and a major appeal of the job was that within 3 mths I would be moving to Bangalore for an extended period of time. I work in IT and am here to do a mixture of training and live project work, as much of Tesco's development work is now done at HSC in Bangalore.
Other travel apart from the US and extensively in Europe includes Namibia where I spent 2 mths in the summer of 1999 and South America, where I spent the majority of 2005, living in various countries and travelling extensively. Apart from english I speak very rusty spanish.
Hobbies include most sports, especially tennis, travelling and socialising with friends.
I hope to hear from you soon.
