The next big chapter of my professional life - Building next-generation enterprise systems at Syook. Leading the product and engineering team to create one of the most innovative, world class IoT product (Syook InSite) As the Head of Technology, I am a key decision maker in all tech-related discussions. This is a multi faceted role requiring me to be involved with: System Design and Architecture, Feature Engineering for Scale and Performance, System Reliability, Observability, Cyber Security, DevOps, UI / UX, QA, IoT Hardware and Firmware Design, Cloud Technologies & Services, Team Building, Coaching and Mentoring

Being the kind who is forever curious and attracted to different exposures, I joined Halliburton to log offshore wells in the extremely demanding, high pressure, high temperature environment in Gulf of Thailand. Worked for Chevron during this period helping them achieve their yearly targets for wells drilled and put to production. Continuing with the trend that I set with Schlumberger, I maintained an excellent safety and service quality record.

The most challenging and difficult job in the oilfield, working in an intense and physically challenging environment, for a company that pushes you to the limits. It was a very exciting and dynamic job where I learnt a lot about myself. As a Field Engineer I was the primary contact between the client and Schlumberger at the well site, leading a 6-8 member team to maintain and operate million dollar equipment in order to deliver high-technology open-hole and cased-hole formation evaluation services. As the team lead I was responsible for the safety of my crew, all the while exceeding client expectations for service quality and efficiency. Starting as a Junior Field Engineer, I quickly progressed through the reins of Schlumberger and within three years, I got promoted to General Field Engineer and by that time I had logged hundreds of wells for various oil companies operating in land, shallow water & deep water offshore basins of India. During this time I also successfully executed some of the most challenging projects, the biggest of them being establishing the new Wireline acquisition software (Maxwell) for Schlumberger, for which I received recognition from the segment headquarters and was also considered a subject matter expert on the new software. After this I was transferred to Qatar, one of the most high profile locations in the world both in terms of technical and hardship challenges, where I worked for clients like Shell, ExxonMobil (RasGas), Qatar Petroleum, Total, GDF Suez, Wintershall and Occidental, It was an invaluable learning experience that taught me a lot about teamwork, leadership, troubleshooting and problem solving under high pressure situations.

Studied topics related to Business Management and Energy Economics.

As part of the exchange program with IFP School, BI provided me the opportunity to study Finance and Business Strategy.
