MS in IT - Information Security from Carnegie Mellon University, GPA 3.25

Work Experience:

Why MBA: As a technical guy, I've seen many opportunities which are potentially profitable, as well as beneficial to the customers, within my past companies and current company. However, I failed to further analyze and promote the ideas because did not know how to speak "business language".
Post-MBA Short Term Goals: To promote entrepreneurial ideas within current company. To learn skills of managing technical projects successfully.
Long Term Goals: Work in a strategic role in a tech environment. Be able to successfully create business/life value through tech entrepreneurship and help other people.![]()
