design, planning, management, testing, organizing and design of
complex projects.
I have honed my technical, business, management and problem-solving skills through direct involvement in various strategic initiatives at Computer Sciences Corporation’s (CSC) consulting division, a leading Systems Integrator and consulting services provider. As a senior IT consultant for CSC, I gained a wide range of experiences, from designing and implementing technological solutions to analyzing workflows and business processes.
My Ph.D. research primarily focused on understanding the relationship between information technologies and student learning in community colleges. Recently, my first research paper was published in a leading International journal, International Journal of Management. Additionally, I am very interested in conducting research in information security, the effects of technologies, development lifecycle of large systems, among other topics.
