Personal Summary
The only constant in today’s technology industry 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 self improvement I am able to gain a deeper understanding of not only the world around me but also the people with whom I work and interact. This I believe, is the crucial factor required for overall growth and the solution to real life problems on which our entire industry is premised.
