What is your role at Parspec?

What techniques help you stay organized and productive?
Documenting & organizing tasks to the best of my abilities by using available resources at hand.
What sparked your interest in the technology industry?
My role requires me to work at the intersection of business, technology and user experience. The goal is to solve the problem in the best possible way & tech is a powerful means to do it. It's fascinating to see how manual/time-consuming processes can be made so much more efficient by using simple scripts, using AI, IoT etc.

Working on Product Finder Improvements & onboarding to Quoting features.
What is the biggest challenge that you’ve faced since joining the team?
Streamlining/managing the grunt work for long periods of time as you get easily distracted to more interesting tasks at hand. I have slowly learned to manage my time in this regard & also better communicate the expectations to team.
What are your career goals? Where do you think Parspec can take you?
I want to grow in Product as a career. I have worked as a developer and a business analyst in product operations & have found my calling to be at the intersection of it all. I always seek growth and always look for ways to learn from team members.
I think Parspec will enable me to do all of this, given the kind of problems we are looking to solve.
If you were not working at Parspec, where would you be?
Not sure where I would be, but definitely learning or working on things that I love!
What is your favorite food?
Home-made mutton curry cooked by my mom!
