I am a Software Engineer by profession, but I define myself as a problem-solver and passionate reader. I firmly believe that the true value of technology lies in its ability to address humanity’s challenges. I am convinced that the problem decomposition and solution-oriented skills I have acquired in software engineering can be applied across various scientific and artistic domains. By transferring this knowledge to other fields, we can achieve significant breakthroughs.
I approach problem-solving with a top-down perspective, allowing me to grasp the bigger picture and gain valuable insights. I thrive on thinking unconventionally and pushing the boundaries of what is possible. I strongly advocate for ambidextrous leadership and engineering, as well as the disruptive potential of technologies like AI, IoT, Robotics, and drones.
Based on my personal experience, I have discovered that innovative and superior solutions emerge when we step out of our comfort zones and overcome knowledge barriers. I firmly believe that engineers should not only possess technical expertise but also have a deep understanding of other disciplines such as business, finance, marketing, politics, and economics. This diverse knowledge equips engineers to become effective leaders and efficient decision-makers.
