After finishing year 10, I studied 6 years of electrical engineering (3 years Diploma and 3 years of bachelor’s degree)
Then I made a move to IT, and it wasn’t easy because I used to love machines. Electric motors and transformers. Used to be fascinated by how it all works. No doubt I was one of the toppers in college.
The IT boom in the early 2000s was tremendous, so I started working as a support engineer, then as a developer.
I have worked on various Microsoft and non-Microsoft technologies since then. Worked in many countries - India, Philippines, Singapore, UK, and Australia.
For the last few years, I have been working on Power Platform governance, Developer experience, and adoption.
As part of my work, I also helped with the adoption of the platform.
While helping on adoption, I started doing coaching and consulting as part of my work.
As part of my work, Microsoft awarded me as an MVP for 5 consecutive years.
That was a brief story of mine, but why did I start this blog.
Why
All these years, with the interaction of hundreds of people, if not more, I would want to share what worked and did not work for me.
I would have loved to know some of these mistakes and failures early in my career, which might have helped me.
I hope these lessons, mistakes might help you in your career or life.
Another important one to note is, IT jobs also have effects on your financial well-being, mental health and relationships. In this blog, I will share some of these concepts which I think are essential and could help navigate your own life.
Purpose
I started reflecting a lot quite lately which is improving my thought process. If I ask myself a question about
What advice would you give your thirty-year-old self?
What advice would you give your twenty-year-old self?
I am confident I could have done things differently.
To pass on the lessons I learned from my own journey, as well as what I’d do differently starting again today. And to help you in your career or Job so that you can live a life with more free time and less stress.
If you are keen to read, learn about my journey. Feel free to join. I will send a blog post once a week at least.
Hopefully, these blog posts make you think.
