Ex-Systems Engineer | MBA @ Amrita Online

About

A year ago, I was deep in systems administration, doing everything “right” on paper, and still feeling like something wasn’t clicking. I had the structure, the problem-solving mindset, and 3+ years as a Systems Engineer… but I wanted to understand the bigger picture, how businesses make decisions, how resources are managed, how teams work together, and how data turns into action. That curiosity slowly turned into direction. Alongside my MBA, I built my understanding of business analytics, strategy, processes, financial decision-making, and management. My engineering experience taught me to think systematically and solve problems; my MBA helped me look at those problems from a broader business perspective, considering performance, long-term value, and responsible growth. I’m now interested in the space where technology, data, and business come together, understanding problems, finding insights, evaluating performance, improving processes, and turning plans into execution. With my MBA now completed, I’m building on my engineering background to make the transition from solving technical problems to solving business problems. Not starting over. Just building on what I already know and moving from engineering to management.
