ABOUT MYSELF :

I am Ashutosh Makharia, a Computer Science Engineering graduate from MS

Ramaiah,Bangalore. I did my schooling from a town,Seohara in West Uttar Pradesh.
I am currently working in McAfee Software India Pvt Ltd. as a Software Engineer in
Test , where my responsibility is to enhance the software quality by code reviews,
validation tool development,design reviews. In addition to this, I fix software
defects as well.
When I am not working, I like to watch movies of Drama and the ones which
motivates me . Also, i like to travel on weekends and try food of various sorts.
Recently, I bought a camera and now I am trying my hands in photography as well.
I like to read books.This includes fiction and non-fiction like sociology,literary
criticism.
As a person I am self-motivated and believe in self-management. Also, I am good
in adapting to changes and being comfortable in new settings and this includes
learning new things. This had benefited me greatly at my workplace in taking up a
different role in the team in a very short span of time.One nice example is being an
only SET Engineer in the Network Security Platform BU. In addition to this, I like to
mention that no human being is perfect. There lies some weakness in each of us. I
am no special. I rely too much on facts and statistics.Hence, sometimes I miss
deadlines. Thus, causing delay in simple decisions.I am introvert which leads to
difficulty in trusting people causing everything to finish on my own.
After working for over 24 months in Information Technology industry ,I have come
to realize that there are other horizons to explore and I believe it is in my knack to
do so, to diversify my knowledge,explore more opportunities. The options of which
seem to be limited in my current field of work, which is purely technical.
If one needs to be a dark horse of syndicate he/she might try to look other side of
the coin. i.e. Business Exposure. And so next few years of my life, I want to focus
more on gaining business knowledge in business consulting field. Business consulting
will have immense opportunities of growing and learning in coming years from old
manufacturing hubs to newbies like e-commerce. Both well-established and new
business needs to know their market standings and their potential customers in
case they need to market their product successfully. Growing focus on advising
businesses on how best to use information technology to meet business objectives
makes this field out of the ordinary. With worlds growing economy one needs an
efficient advisor in financial planning and investments. Thus,consulting is something
that actually touches almost all aspects of the game. This is what fascinates me.
