π¨ Hello! I'm Amit Rana, a tech professional based in India. With over 15 years of experience in tech consulting, I thrive at the intersection of technology design and business strategy and bridging the gaps between them. My passion lies in creating seamless exchange of ideas, strategies and business outcomes with the technology landscape of an organization, be it corporate real estate, smart buildings, internet of things and Business Intelligence.
π About Me
I'm a creative thinker, a problem solver, and an avid learner, always exploring new trends and techniques in technology. Iβve spent big chunk of my life designing electronic circuits for large variety of clients from manufacturing, real estate, commercial buildings and printing industry. I specialize in designing complex Internet of Things system, initially from scratch and now at an enterprise level. I'm not immersed in system drawings, you can find me with a nice book in my hand feasting on fantasies and spirituality realms. But most of the time, youβd find me playing with my adorable kids.
