About

I am passionate about research and technology. I like to solve exciting real world problems using innovative solutions. Embarking on my professional journey as an AI/ML specialist and transitioning into a tech consultant, I've been driven by a relentless curiosity about the value I bring to clients and their businesses. I am a listener, learner, maker with a keen mind for finding innovative ideas.

Why MSSM?

Due to MSSM's position at the intersection of Engineering, Design and Business, I realized attending the Master of Science in Software Management at the Integrated Innovation Institute holds outstanding value for me. This value is represented by the opportunities it presents by placing me in the heart of the tech industry. While the idea of being surrounded by tech giants sounds great, learning among them through a flexible, cross-disciplinary curriculum with a unique blend of business and technology is even better. It aligns perfectly with the kind of approach I've been searching for - one that will let me dive deep into both management and engineering, helping me tap into my innovation mindset.

Education

Bachelor of Technology in Computer Science Engineering, Bennett University

Experience

Consulting Engineer at Cisco

What type of role are you looking to obtain after you graduate?

Cisco has given me an incredibly inclusive environment and much more. It's really a great place to work at. I intend to pick up my consulting mantle again post graduation, this time as an innovation specialist with top tech firms like Google that foster similar environments. I would like to converge my engineering and consulting experience into the confluence of technology and business strategy. In the long term, I aspire to deploy innovatively disruptive solutions from a top level management perspective to real challenges, placing people at the forefront.
