Growing up I loved Science and especially Math. I had a great Math teacher who taught me problem solving and used to say "it's only difficult until you learn to solve it, then it is easy." My dad was an engineer so that intrigued me. I felt the desire to lead people the way I wanted to be led, by example. What led you to your career? Was there a defining moment? I believe in structure and organized work, being proactive rather than reactive. I was very impressed with agile principles and its working. It implements an empirical process, which provides adaptation, transparency and inspection. Investing in my professional development helped me pursue my passion. I became a certified POPM, SAFe Agilist and PSM. I strive for excellence and work on my tasks in the best possible ways.
