WHY DID YOU CHOOSE THIS FIELD?
My entry to the world of software programming was different as I was perusing humanities contrary to science / mathematics as my peers. It was vision o my parents to enroll me to a course to explore this area and check out if I get interested as an alternative career option. Though it was all set to carry on with Geography for my bachelors I gained huge interest and was determined to pursue my career in this area. I took english literature in my bachelors and continue to progress with my software programming course. As a result I landed in a job the day after my graduation. Since then its been almost 20 years now I am continuing without looking back and thoroughly enjoying my work as technical architect at present.
WHAT DO YOU LOOK AT & THINK, "I WISH YOUNGER ME WOULD HAVE KNOWN THIS WAS POSSIBLE?"
Possibility to study abroad and taking up a job there. I was introduced to better way of living and working when I as posted in an assignment in the UK but at much later stage in my career. I wish it would happened earlier.
WHY DO YOU LOVE WORKING IN STEM?
Problem Solving. As a technical architect and passionate developer everyday I wake up to new technical challenges and solving them to serve bigger business needs for corporations.
BEST ADVICE FOR NEXT GENERATION?
I would say one should not consider that he/ she has to be from deep STEM background to pursue the profession of software developer or any role in IT. It needs the reasoning / strong logical skills and clear understanding of the basic concepts on how system works. Only very specific areas need your mathematical / statistical skills to work on. We should spread this awareness against this notion for both students and employers so that wider range of people can be associated with this profession.
