PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND & IMPACT:
Over 5 years, I’ve operated at the intersection of quality engineering, production stability, and cross-functional delivery in high-velocity IT environments across Shipping, Telecom and B2B e-commerce. As a Test Lead & Production Support Specialist, I’ve consistently bridged technical execution with business continuity-owning end-to-end release cycles, leading incident management for mission-critical systems and driving process improvements that reduced defect escape rates and accelerated time-to-resolution.
Social Impact & Mentoring:
Founded a technical bootcamp focused on bridging the "campus-to-corporate" gap. I provide low-cost mentoring, resume building and interview prep for non-privileged students entering the IT sector.
MBA OBJECTIVE & STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT:
I’m willing to pursue a full-time MBA in Europe to transition from technical delivery leadership into strategy consulting. While my background has equipped me with analytical rigor, stakeholder management and operational resilience, I seek formal training in advanced project management, data analytics, corporate finance and strategy formulation to solve complex business problems at scale.
Post-MBA Path:
Join a top-tier strategy/operations consulting firm, focusing on data-driven project delivery, tech modernization and market-entry strategy. Long-term, I aim to lead consulting practices or build an advisory venture at the intersection of technology, strategy, and emerging markets.

If you plan to get into digital transformation-type roles post-MBA, data mine strong examples where you, as part of a similar project for a client or an organisation, brought a new perspective to the project. If you want to work in product management, just as an example, data mine instances where your contribution or insights transformed the shape of a digital product at the ideation stage. I hope you see what I am getting at. Do not pitch a seemingly generic IT profile.
Goals like 'I want to work at the intersection of X, Y, and Z...' do not work very well because they show a lack of research. Adcoms like applicants who are focused and have clarity, including having done the research, such as speaking with industry experts, and knowing exactly which roles they will target. Also, you need to do a lot of deep research to find unique pointers around what makes you a distinctive addition to the class at those schools to improve your odds at higher-ranking B-schools. Aim for a high GMAT score as well.
If you want a more detailed read of your candidacy at top B-schools, feel free to reach out for a candid discussion.
