A random old post – Career Interests – Reflects my views in 2005

Albert Einstein once said

” I never think of the future – it comes soon enough. “

My prejudiced opinion about future has been considerably influenced by this quote. I religiously follow this thought as my guideline for today’s Karma. In short, I live in today.

My career interests are varied. As the years have passed, more and more varied interests got added to my “favorites” list. I always wanted to become an engineer, which I did when I graduated in Aug ’06.

Telecommunications was and is, one of my hot craves. Deep inside this area has further more complex areas of interests, which are CDMA, GSM and VoIP. In the similar group, telecommunication industry offers Broadband Over Power Line(BPL).
This was my old love which seems to have taken a back seat since last year.

Ability to maintain data and manipulate information in the form of tables and SQL queries is what developed my penchant for databases. My specific goals are to work towards Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and develop existing compatibility tools between databases and front-ends.

E-Commerce is the youngest member of my old times love. The fact that the actual business can be run, fully automated on the internet is what inclined me to this subject. My first encounter with this subject was rather superficial and was limited to a brief introduction about this topic. But the subject interest brought a point where I changed my focus of research towards SOA and Business E-Commerce.

Υποδοχή to my new craze of Management of Information Systems (MIS). In case, you could not understand the first word of this line, it is greek translation for welcome
The world of business is very much dependent on technology and so is technology on business. Greater developments in technology has enabled nearly complete automation of business processes. The extent of automations has touched every silos of almost all organizations. Reaching out to the business people and understanding what they do and making sure that technology is doing exactly what it is required to do by the overall process of automation.

The process of discovering this new member of my knowledge castle is exciting and is keeping my involved. My career target positions at the beginning level are ERP Analyst or Junior Analyst, Website Designer & developer, Database Administrator, Database Application Designer !!

Purpose of this internet-o-place

As far as I can think of, I have always wanted to become an engineer. Even when I didn’t know what Engineering meant or what engineers were, I wanted to become one. I can attribute partially to my parents who said loosely those big words such as competition, hard life and money matters, etc. out loud in our house in front us even when I went to sixth grade.
You can actually say that I was just infatuated with the word “Engineer” and decided to move on this path even when I didnt actually know what it was.

Here I am after I earned my Master’s in MIS and IT and a Bachelors in Information Technology and two years of experience, and I still want to learn more.

When I was in eight grade, I actually took time to teach the children of my mother’s helper. Even though I was in eight grade, I assisted the kids who were in tenth grade with simple English structure and Grammar associated. So, as far as I can remember, I have liked teaching and imparting knowledge to people. For this to happen now after all of this professional profile, I would have to just follow the course of action and apply for a Phd program in my area of interest – Information Systems and Operations.

My intention is to have for myself a collection of activities what I have been doing for this endeavor.

Guzzling up

Hey folks,

I have landed here. Yes at the WordPress.  Finally, after a lot of contemplation of starting another blog and that too here, was a time taking decision. For some it is as easy as creating a fake email id but I happen to have excluded myself from those types. First post will have a lot of weight-age to it, because I am going to be post at-least a couple of posts every week – both subject intense and chaff!

I would appreciate everyone who reads and/or leaves a comment on this blog. I am of a thought that it is a learning process and I have just started on this path. Rest assured I can learn!

Two cents about myself -

A regular guy in the field of Information systems. After completing my undergrads from Indraprastha University, New Delhi, India, I worked with Covansys Pvt. Ltd, ( now Computer Science Corporation). I recently walked for earning my dual-major Masters in Management of Information Systems (MIS) and Information Technology with Project Management mint from Rochester Institute of Technology. I have intentions of going for my PhD. in Eco IT or energy sustainability fields. Well that being said, I have planst to go for phd soon but my gre score has expired or it is on the paht ot be. So, I guess I will have to attempt doing something more tfor this. I might have to just give GMAT or GRE soon and then think  about about what school does offer PHD in these fields. I have short listed a couple but you know things might just change.!
