What I Do I am a Cyber Security Engineer and have worked on many amazing projects in the super cool and engaging world of Security. From dealing with malware and being part of a band of superheroes, who help save people from getting their data stolen, my job is extremely fulfilling and exciting! The world of security is always evolving so everyday you get to learn more, which is by far the primary reason why I love my line of work!
Why Engineering? I studied Electronics and Communication Engineering. I was always interested in facets of Networking, Computers and Signals and luckily Cyber Security draws in heavily from those subjects. The best aspect is, there is an amalgamation of the different disciplines and there are always many routes and paths to the destination whether it be a filed or a role that you wish to work on/for/or are curious about! Engineering is a world that actually leads to many different paths!
School Days My school was awesome! It was rigorous and exhaustive in the subjects it taught us. I would attribute the academic rigour a big reason as to why I am obsessed with puzzle and problem solving! In college, my major or discipline of study was Electronics and Communication Engineering, which was again a perfect match for me because I loved studying many aspects of it. I had a chance to also mentor under many amazing professors and collaborate with my classmates from different colleges as well. My final year project was designing a Cordic Processor which was one of the highlights of my college days!
Best Part The ocean of knowledge that you get submerged in! If you enjoy puzzle/problem solving (which I love) you will love to be an engineer in any field. To solve tangible problems is the base on which the different disciplines of engineering grow!
