answer. Yeah, so it is 1/4 while long and my career journey started colder. Pretty find years back. I was in Calcutta. I mean, that's where I am from on. Duh. So it's funny because when I graduated from college, I had no intention to go into computers on. I literally avoided any computer class of them were protect few trusses, but I generally stayed out from computers. But, you know, just the way the life course I got into some. I started my career in the newspaper, not as not as a atrial Arras reporter Young's but as a as a technical person, mainly working on the newspaper shop floor where the missions, you know, when the weather newspapers are treated. And, uh, the computer was just coming there back to those days. So the newspaper where I was working for the actually the actually badly leader some people who at least know what is a mouse and how toe type Andi essentially do those type of things. And so we were a few people who actually saw computer in our college, so they got mean and I started liking it and just started flowing, and the I still remember my first cooling was in visual. Basic. Actually, no. Before that, it was a Fox group. Nobody has hard. Many of them had hard about that anymore on. But then then it was envisioned music. And then? Then he moved on their anything. So So that's how it started. Ah, I moved. So So? So I worked in that newspaper for almost five years, a little over five years on. Then I essentially moved to us. That was around the year 2000 and in 1999 I came here on day I started working for a company in the area in Silicon Valley and then moved around a little bit, came to New York. They'll finally landed, have been in Sacramento, California, and joining go for and worked there for almost 10 years. And I kind of grew from a very junior developer toe, uh, sort of lead and to an architect and then, uh, program management Onda. So that starts by that kind of shipped my that. You call it
quickly Workouts is an interesting question and talk about a traitor. But it s so I work for Fidelity Investments now and, uh, I essentially look into the cloud enablement on cybersecurity and those type of things. So all any of these large companies they have huge number off activations business applications which were built over years for the last three years on various platform and they're very mission critical applications were talking about compliance, surveillance, trading, those type of applications. Which kind of company depends on them. But there are village in a way which was not very useful toe. Take advantage of the present cloud infrastructure and I will go to cloud. It is very different the way we used to do things before. I'm 10 years, 15 years back. The way I used to write court are taking good right court nowadays have been very different. And so essentially, that's what my role is. So my critics, activation from on premises to cloud Onda help our development teams toe essentially build architectures so that it can be can be deported properly so that we cannot me or not Ah recorded not locked into one cloud fender. We can are detected is so flexible that if needed, I can move to the other co defender. Doesn't matter which gender this is, essentially the so that those are the various design and obviously security. That is another very important thing because you're functioning farm and securities. But the most important thing. So again, the way things are built before, uh, it was not very standardized, reporting that when that is true for any company, there's not only any any specific form because things changed. And if you're talking about 20 years old cold, this gives an opportunity to go to cloud when we can standardize how you secure Activision's so so essentially that for to do. And that's what my job is. Ah, work hours. It is very, uh, interesting, because this is a global company. So we have folks in India. We have folks in Europe, many in Ireland. We used to folks in China, and obviously in us you have at least two times we don't have anything good. So we have two time zones on India and Ireland, So sometimes my best outset 5 30 in the morning. Onda sometimes, but it ends. Typically army. I like that. So that works for me, but essentially it on. So that is one part. Luckily, in my present role, I don't have any production related responsibility, so I don't have to be on call or I shouldn't have to be in the weekends during those two. But I have done that before. So so, so so essentially, whenever something is required, we have a little Ana. So that some, of course
so So from a high level, the challenge is essentially that the challenges of change. So we are, I mean, in my present role and, uh, mostly most of the people when you getting to any work environment, things change, whether it is a technology change or management in your business say things, putting and, uh and then managing that change is very important. And that's the rule that is a major challenge. The office on day two groups of examples and I really opposed to the tick, tick, meditate. Is that little changed when we have seen at least three generations socket militaries. So I know that really five years, six years back, which was very heart in terms of technology today, that is just even not one we don't know the hold. So, uh, so things change. Now there people who actually on people as you can called and people build something on the old cloudy and they're proud of that. And there's their support system, which will build around that the production support be the standardization and a lot of things which have pushed around there or to change it. You do what is a technology, but we're to convince the people change, to alluded to not your new new way of doing things and processes on that search, and that's that is a bigger challenge than just changing it. So when you hear that the startups are going looking very fast, obviously they don't have any because it will be. But we've been with retains were to change a lot of stuff along with us. So that's a talent Onda, uh, and and that's where the lot of other things come into picture like you have to me. You have tohave impacting the people who boost the premier system. You have to have understanding off what happens when something goes wrong because those systems are battle tested. Whatever you're building now, it has to be at least close to that. Are bigger than that. So So the challenges on DA on the way we're a 15 is be honestly, I mean, they're just we may be here cliche, but you have to listen to people because the people who are built it and they're running for last 20 years. For 15 years they have seen scenarios which you have not seen as a change agent. I have not seen And, uh so listen to them building trust with them and then getting them into your camp and peeling together co creating the new environment is, uh is the only effective you can't disrupt it. You can bring some contractors and destructive and build something very quickly, but it is. It is generally not. It will probably not last forever because there is a value off the tribal knowledge, if you call it so that is there and we have toe were to build on top of that, not Bill without of deck Nixon's.
