MBA

Human Resource Management

MK University

Graduated 2012

The MBA was a deliberate investment alongside an active engineering career — specifically in Human Resource Management. This is the academic foundation behind my approach to structured people leadership: performance frameworks, career laddering, organisational design, and team psychology. It directly informs how I approach mentorship, hiring, and engineering culture.

BE (Bachelor of Engineering)

Mechanical Engineering

Bharathidasan University

Graduated 2000

The foundation of an engineering career that moved into software early and never looked back. The analytical rigour of an engineering degree — failure modes, system constraints, design under load — carries over in unexpected ways to distributed systems and platform reliability thinking.

Why the dual background matters

Most senior engineers have one or the other — deep technical expertise, or strong people and business skills. I've spent 20+ years developing both deliberately. The result is a leader who can write an ADR in the morning, run a structured career development conversation in the afternoon, and present a business case to C-level stakeholders in the evening.
