I take pride in contributing to a product that assures society by safeguarding their digital information. Being a certified Scrum master, I also facilitate the dev team to adhere to Agile methodology for product development.
To me, the world of IT is fascination embodied; its role in frequent wonderful inventions done within last 40 years are the proof of its might: From an artificial Limb creation to innovative 3d print, in bringing out the wonders from the depth of the sea to far away galaxies, IT has contributed to all, in ways more than one. It fascinates me to see how the limits of human intelligence and the world around us is changing through computers, via machine learning and virtual reality. With IT as a tool, there are immense possibilities to explore. Having worked in the IT industry for 12 years, I can say it is a fantastic Industry to work in. It's not a nerdy world as perceived from the outside."
Women in IT are sorely needed across the globe to break the misconception of IT being a Man’s profession. If you are curious and have an aptitude to learn, take a leap of faith and you will find immense support from the IT community.
"In the future, I would like to reach a responsible position where my skills and experience will be used to synergize IT processes so that I can contribute in taking the organization onto the next level of growth path. I would also like to share my lessons learnt, knowledge and expertise gained during the process with new upcoming IT professionals. So if you are a young woman trying to decide on your career path, I encourage you: Be the change you want to see. As you come forward, many will follow."
