Way back in 2001, after being accidentally introduced to the internet, I dreamt of teaching children from various countries.

No one ever believed way back in 2001 that teaching virtually could be a reality.

But see now everyone talks of virtual classes, hybrid classes, so the dream has become real. Pre-pandemic it was still restricted to teaching to US and UK students, but thanks to the pandemic, the entire world teaches virtually.

If I talk about my journey toward this dream of creating one big global classroom, where there are boundaries of caste, color, geography, and time. Anyone can learn anytime from experts located anywhere in the world, it started when I joined the noble profession of teaching. I have thoroughly enjoyed every moment I spent with my students. I have seen some challenging students, and some very interested students, but I have equally enjoyed teaching them all.

Like every one of us, I also had that mid-life crisis around 2000, and that is when this idea of teaching online came to my mind. But I started teaching online around 2005 and have never looked back since then. During these 18 years in the industry, I have worked in different roles. I have been an online teacher helping students with Math Concepts to regular students and also to the gifted students, I have been a Project Manager for the development of e-text books for schools in the state of West Virginia across all subjects and all grades. I designed a Learning Management System way back in 2005 – 06 when no one actually knew what is an LMS.

My journey of 18 years has been absolutely thrilling, challenging but enjoyable to the core. These years have made me learn something from everyone I have touched, and am still learning.

My strength lies in my excellent communication skills, Being a team player, I am empathetic towards the needs of others. I am a strategic planner, who excels in planning new things, and who is always in to try new things and new pedagogic approaches to make things simpler for the students. My motto is making learning fun and enjoyable.

I firmly believe that you are as young as 18 if you are learning at 80 but you are as old as 80 if you stop learning at 18.

In short, I am a life-long learner.

This period of my career allowed me to immerse myself in the world of coding, debugging, and software engineering. I gained proficiency in multiple programming languages, collaborated with diverse teams, and contributed to the development of innovative software solutions.

Transitioning into the field of Education, I brought my passion for technology and problem-solving to the classroom. Over five enriching years, I've had the opportunity to shape young minds and inspire future generations. As an educator, I've crafted engaging curricula, fostered critical thinking, and provided mentorship to countless students. My dedication to educational excellence extends beyond the classroom, as I've also contributed to educational leadership and administration.

My unique blend of experiences in both Software Development and Education positions me as a versatile and forward-thinking professional. I thrive at the intersection of technology and learning, whether it's developing educational software, designing interactive learning experiences, or teaching students the art of coding. I am committed to making a meaningful impact in these fields and continuing to bridge the gap between technology and education.

As I look forward, I remain dedicated to innovation, lifelong learning, and the pursuit of excellence in both the realms of software and education. I am excited about the opportunities that lie ahead and the potential to make a lasting difference.
