Being a brighter track record in Technical Subjects During my Schooling, my wish came true when my parents, colleagues encouraged me to choose the Engineering Stream, at my age Electronics and Telecommunication were on peak. I've been enjoying my Career since the completion of my Education.
Q3. What do you enjoy the most about your field?
I’m a very curious person and I like to understand how things work or how come things are the way they are. I have the same mindset when I’m assigned an issue. All the possibilities need to be considered. Working with people who are as curious as I am, and that are more skilled, makes my work the best learning environment there is. Every day I learn something new on the job
Q4. What do you enjoy the least about your field?
In the Networking Domain, especially in Technical Support, issues may arise at any odd time, so sometimes I need to cancel my planned activities, it’s like work-life balance got messed, I am still learning time management skills. In rest, I am all OK with my current field.
Q5. What was the most challenging part about a project you were working on, in the past?
I have worked on many important projects throughout my career. What’s crucial for me when starting one is to get very clear on the goals right at the start and then create a plan with milestones. I also like dealing with the most difficult parts of the projects early on—that way in case there are any significant issues, I’ll still have a nice amount of time to complete before the deadline. I also typically break down large tasks into smaller chunks, so that it is easier to know where to start. Detailed planning is very important to ensure an important project goes smoothly.
Q6. What about your favorite part?
IP is my favorite one, I am learning new things on daily basis, these days I am practicing / learning the concepts in IT fields :Storage, Cloud Computing...although it's a tough challenge for me to start from zero, but I have accepted this challenges and I enjoying learning.
