About Me
My Journey
From my student days, marked by consistently high grades and a position at the top of my class, my journey has been one of continuous learning and growth. After high school, where I graduated at the top of my class, I took a brief sabbatical from academia to gain practical work experience. This experience in the professional world was enlightening, but at 20, I felt a strong pull towards higher education and embarked on my bachelor's degree.
These years weren't just about earning a degree; they were a deep dive into the realms of computer science and programming. Post-2007, I began my career as a programmer, a role that allowed me to apply and expand upon my collegiate learnings. It was during this period that I realized the highly intertwined nature of academic theory and professional practice in software engineering.
My academic journey led me to entrepreneurship, where I founded a startup focused on developing a geo-fencing-based advertisement platform. Despite its eventual failure, this venture was a valuable learning experience, teaching me crucial lessons about business resilience and the importance of aligning technological innovations with business objectives. This experience prompted a shift towards a service-based business model.
In 2018, I pursued a long-held ambition to study in the United States, joining Wilmington University for my master's degree. There, I achieved a 3.86 GPA. This degree invigorated my keen interest in cybersecurity, highlighting its significance in the technological and business domains.
Post-master's, I found my way to Silicon Valley, where I currently work at Fyusion. Here, I am fortunate to collaborate with talented individuals from both professional and academic backgrounds. My role involves building software systems with a focus on customer needs, security, and efficiency.
Throughout my career, I've learned the critical importance of aligning technical efforts with business goals, ensuring solutions are cost-effective, sustainable, and secure. This alignment is vital for business success, a lesson that has been reinforced throughout my academic and professional experiences. I take great pride in my journey, recognizing that each step has contributed to my development as a professional and a scholar.
