Important lesson learned

Every day is a lesson in your personal and professional life. We meet new challenges everyday. We are seeing new technologies evolving faster then ever. Key is to stay focused and updated with new technologies in this fast changing world of technology. I have worked in many companies but Quark Media house and Alliance Global helped me build my career into a focused direction and taking it to the next level. I have learned a lot about QA processes and tools at Quark. Alliance global gave right space to develop and use my automation skill set. I worked on many framework and tools at Alliance. I am fortunate being part of our industry standard automation platform 'InsideEdge xAFT'. Alliance also recognized my skills and contributions to various projects and initiatives. Currently I am heading the Automation-Center of Excellence at Alliance Global.

Important decision

Choosing IT as a career.

Influenced by

First My father. He worked very hard through out his life to support our family. He is Retd. Sub Major from Indian Army. He also served 18 years in Ranbaxy as Security Officer. He taught me well about how to respect your elders and seniors.
Second my mother, who raised us well even if our father used to be away for long time due to Army deputations. Her devotion to the family has turned me into a caring family person.

Every citizen represent a nation. We should first learn to respect our country. We should start following the rules which are put in-place. We should actively participate in social activities. Do not disrespect your country in front of other country people.

Thoughts on Education system of our country
