I like learning. A lot. What I enjoy even more are opportunities to apply what I've learned and watch my work manifest into tangible, measurable results. My IT career began in a student-ran start-up at Rutgers University that focused on providing fellow students with premium study materials. That's where I learned to effectively prioritize tasks, be flexible, and take ownership of situations. The experience taught me about business and stress, but most of all, it taught me how to view situations from the vantage points of all parties involved. I'd define “urgency” after assessing the needs of the customer, my team, and the overall business, and only then react. I became comfortable with the notion that priorities can change swiftly and that it's necessary to think on my feet in order to keep up. Since then I've accumulated 5 years of enterprise IT experience and have been able to see rapid progression of responsibilities at work and in my technical skill. I've fed my curiosity and passion for technology by building fundamental knowledge in a wide breadth of technical domains. I've utilized self-study outside of working hours, with certification as a framework, to structure my learning pursuits. After getting exposure to multiple facets of IT, I've discovered my interest for Cloud Computing. From previous positions I've also discovered how important process improvement can be and that the time spent on it brings value to the organization. I believe employees should have the power to improve and automate processes, or champion new ways of doing things if the existing process is resistant to automation. As such, I've began to bring both together by diving into the realms of Linux systems in the Cloud and DevOps.
