My wealth of experience to help teams and technology remain smart, sustainable and agile.My interests have always been in people, sustainability & technology. I believe that merging and upskilling people with new technologies becomes pertinent to ensure efficiency, growth and sustainability. Seeing teams succeed & people develop their skills with customer focus & mindset on delivering with integrity & quality brings me joy. I have continuously worked with the business to understand their processes, pain points and requirements.Holding a Master's degree in IT & Bachelor's degree in Psychology, an interesting combination that has helped me understand people & technology.Pursuing PhD with Jeffrey Sachs Center on Sustainable Development at Sunway University with focus on United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 4 which is to "Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all." The focus is on Sustainable Social Education following the Xaverian mission school principles of education to serve the lost, the least, the last; respect for human dignity & non-racial outlook; principles of discipline, perseverance, zeal & hard work. These are principles I have lived by. My goal is to eventually become a lecturer and teacher following these very principles I learned in school. Strongly advocate continuous learning and I have also taken an Ethics in AI course with LSE, an IoT course in MIT, 2 sustainability courses in Cambridge, and a Higher Education course with Harvard.
