Could you tell us briefly about your family background?

I am proud to be Indian. I belong to a middle class family. My father is retired from Indian Air force and Mother is a Home Maker. I have completed my school education from Kendriya Vidyalaya and Masters Degree in Computer Applications from UoR, Jaipur.

Most Important Decisions

I joined as Lecturer in MAISM, Jaipur immediately after my MCA. I enjoyed my work and developed excellent patience, assertiveness, listening skills, convincing skills and maturity during my first assignment. I have been innovating and commercializing my ideas from very first assignment. Saga contd..

Degrees that Matter

Certifications & degrees helps when they are aligned to nature of work. I strongly recommend that freshers should strive for knowledge than certifications. Experienced professionals should get relevant certifications inline to career goals and expertise. Irrelevant certifications shows ambiguity

A Fine Balance:

Life has always been challenging to the ambitious people,I am no exception. I plan my day & week ahead with major tasks prioritized. I enjoy the unplanned ones as they are unavoidable. I spend quality time with family, even if it's few minutes. I prefer emptying my minds for 5 mins atleast twice/day

Essential Advice

QA & Testing are different job profiles, thus needs different mindset. I suggest choose testing if you are passionate about it, and not, if you find yourself unfit for programming. Software testing is very interesting career with similar growth ladder and milestones in programming. Know your passion
