When it comes to my career, I am grateful, full of gratitude that I've walked this path and achieved what I've achieved.

I am always willing to learn and believe in continuous improvement.

I would love to start from the very beginning.

May 31st, I've just passed out of my Engineering. I always wanted to be a Java Developer but I didn't know a thing.

My final year project was crap and now I laugh at what I've made at that time. I was desperate to work at free. But I was sure that I want to build my career in Software Development. Software Development has always fascinated me.

June 2014

I've got my first job as an intern with a stipend of 3,000 Indian Rupee(40$ USD) per month :) Yes, that's true!

But I always wanted to be into Software Development so I was happy doing it.

In my first company, I've learned:

• The importance of learning in a group. In my first company, we were only 40 interns with no senior in the company, nobody to help but together, learning in a group we helped each other grow
• How to be helpful to others

Everybody learns a new topic, conducts a group session, and shares the knowledge.

This helped us learn quickly and in a few months, we've started delivering value to the company.

My Second company was the company where I've spent the longest time in my career.

Here I've learned:

• The importance of written communication
• How to resolve disputes in the team
• How to work in a cross-functional team
• Importance of best practices in maintaining software
• Importance of keeping up-to-date with trendy tools in the industry

My Third company was the best company I've worked for so far.

Here I've learned:

• How to run a big company by the following "process"
• Process is above everything and anything
• Some awesome tools and tech used in Software Development
• Agile Mindset

My Fourth Company was in the middle east and that's the first time I traveled abroad all alone.

My abroad experience has taught me lessons like:

• Working with People with different backgrounds and how to respect their beliefs and culture
• Working in an international team and how they operate
• Importance of producing quality work
• Importance of proper communication
• Documenting meeting notes and everything you do so that you don't need to remember

In my last company, I've worked closely with the CEO and the top management where I learned problems a Company faces while running a company. I looked at the problems from a company standpoint and got a different perspective from what I was looking for from an employee's perspective.

I've learned:

• What it means to be a true leader
• How can I give 100% to my company
• How to lead a team and managing varieties of people
• Understood recruitment process in-depth
• And how to be an outstanding developer by just brainstorming topics within a team
• Continuous learning and developed an understanding that "learning never ends"

Jan 2022

I am working in my current company right now, here I am enjoying working with a team of a super-duper international team. Who are far superior to me.

It will be too early to share what I've learned so far but I am enjoying my time here. Each day I am learning something challenging that blows up my mind.
