Personal Summary
The only constant in technology is change. Grasping this concept has allowed me to adopt a mindset of consistent learning in which hands on experience is the only sustainable way forward. By diversifying my skill set and focusing on growth I am able to gain a deeper understanding of not only the processes around me but also the individuals with whom I collaborate. This I believe, is the crucial factor required for true progress and the key to effectively solving real life problems which drive industry innovation.
