In my recent past was working as a "Product Engineer" in a e-learning firm managing a team as a process owner for a global level project, I’ve been with this concern for past 1 year, During this investment of time one quality I developed more strongly and which many consider the foremost for any position which i may apply, is the ability to rise and meet situations and stage process in place not only as a stop cab measure but in parallel finding and fixing the source both technical and non technical irrespective of domains, platforms and departments for regular functioning, and since I have showcased this in many situations people consider me as

• Very quick learner from challenges
• Technically highly adaptable
• Capable of organizing self and Team (Human resource) together.
• Not only hard but a smart worker to get things done in given time frame
• Person with daringness to experiment creative, robust ways to solve a problem and bring learning out of it for betterment of company, team members and self.

And casually but constantly use to measure, monitor processes and innovate methods to ease the work, reduce turnaround time and bring in an accelerated learning to self and colleagues.

Though am enjoying my present job of developing applications, delivering technical and business solutions to firms full time and work towards my goal now and then, I would rejoice coordinating with a dedicated team which is working towards deriving solutions for varying learning objectives focusing students and teachers all the time.

And for a fact i know that, putting the knowledge and qualities I have developed over time would surely be a value add for the team.
