What I Do I do solution analysis, architecture and design of software solutions for Project-based companies to be able to run their day-to-day business in Oracle ERP Cloud. From my career this is 2nd stint. In my first stint I was a hands on engineer in manufacturing-quality assurance where I did design/test specs/manage quality. I also was part of business transformation project moving the business to digitization where I got the exposure to working on MRP2/ERP- business software. This lead me to my second stint.
Why Engineering? Always wanted to be an engineer! I love Math and Science and how we apply them, the idea of making things work/happen, fixing things, bringing them together, designing things, seeing things work... all roads here lead to Engineering!
School Days I grew up in India, did my schooling and Bachelors in Mechanical Engineering in PSG Technology Coimbatore. I came to Kansas State University for my Masters in Industrial Engineering.
My Day At Work Lots of collaborative work - various projects to help solve customer business problems. Depending on the release composition, my day-projects are a mix of various phases in the lifecycle- initial requirements analysis, functional solution approach, UI, design, test. I also review architecture for our team/provide feedback on peer designs.
Inspiration My dad was my biggest inspiration and mentor. His constant thirst for knowledge and learning via reading, listening-talking to people, watching videos etc has amazed me and impacted/inspired me constantly.
Want to be an Engineer? Go for it! Nothing is as much fun and rewarding! If you love Math and Science, the engineering world is for you! So much to do, so much to build...only opportunities await!
