I’m Amit Rana, a technology professional based in India. For over 18 years, I’ve worked across engineering and consulting roles where my focus has been less on tools and more on thinking — understanding how technology decisions shape businesses, systems, and people. My experience spans enterprise environments, smart infrastructure, IoT, and analytics, but at the core, I enjoy making complex systems understandable and useful.

About Me

I’m a creative thinker, problem solver, and lifelong learner, constantly exploring how technology evolves and how it’s applied in the real world. I’ve spent a significant part of my career designing electronic circuits and systems for clients across manufacturing, real estate, commercial buildings, and the printing industry. Over time, this work evolved into designing complex Internet of Things solutions — first from the ground up, and later at an enterprise scale.

When I’m not immersed in systems and architecture, I slow down in very different ways. You’ll often find me with a book in hand, drawn to fiction, philosophy, and spirituality. And more often than anything else, you’ll find me simply being a father — spending time, playing, and laughing with my kids.
