The Journey
My journey into the professional world began in 2009 when I embarked on my career as a Systems Engineer with Infosys. Climbing the ladder, I was promoted to Senior Systems Engineer in 2011, marking my dedication and passion for my field. My quest for knowledge and growth led me to the United States in 2014, aiming to enhance my academic credentials with an MBA. This decision paved the way for a series of enriching experiences, starting with an internship at Equinix in business analysis. My journey continued as I navigated through various roles, including a Financial Analyst at Equinix, Lead Business Analyst at OGE Energy Group, Product Owner at NextEra Energy Resources, and Program Manager with Tech Mahindra. In 2019, I returned to Equinix as a Business Systems Analyst, a role that recently saw me ascend to Senior Business Systems Analyst, coupled with a gratifying 30% salary increase.
The Challenge
The catalyst for my decision to upskill came during my tenure as a Business Systems Analyst at Equinix. Recognizing the need to enhance my performance and contribute more effectively to my team, I sought out the TOGAF & ITIL Foundation courses. My goal was to deepen my understanding of our business systems and frameworks, ensuring that I could bring more value to my role and, by extension, to the organization.
