My Passion

My journey began in 1994 at SERC when I was introduced to the captivating world of Silicon Graphics workstations. This introduction ignited my passion for computer graphics, game components, gamification, and virtual reality.

Thanks to this introduction, I had the privilege to publish three articles:

Interactive Volume Walk-through

Immersive Visualizations Using Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality

3D Avatars in Virtual Reality Experience

My Experience

I've had a varied career, starting as an Individual Contributor and eventually becoming a Program Manager. Later on, I returned to the role of an Individual Contributor, this time as a Pre-sales Architect. Through these roles, I gained a unique perspective, understanding the challenges and issues faced by both parties involved, which ultimately became the core theme of my book, "Transforming Learning and IT Management through Gamification.''

My Next Path

After exploring various roles and witnessing the evolution of technology, I realized my true calling was to utilize my personal strengths and communication skills to coach others in realizing their potential.
I began my coaching journey on August 15th, 2022, and successfully completed my ACTP Level-2 certification in June 2023.
Currently, I am on a mission to achieve my PCC credentialing while continuing my role as a Solution Architect in my day-to-day work.

My Learnings

My career experiences led me to seek a new path. I aspired to help teams reach their full potential and become highly capable units that could excel and contribute to their organizations. To achieve this goal, I decided to become a certified corporate coach, working with both leadership teams and associates.
