About

As an accomplished IT specialist with over 15 years of experience, I have dedicated my career to enhancing library technology systems and managing digital repositories. My journey has been defined by a passion for digital transformation, optimizing IT infrastructure, and developing innovative web and mobile applications. At the Indian Institute of Management, I led numerous IT initiatives, managing the library's website, mobile applications, and servers, including the Cyber Lab. My role involved providing technical support for library automation software such as KOHA and DSpace, overseeing IT inventory, developing in-house portals to manage library equipment efficiently, and taking IT sessions for library trainee to enhance their practical knowledge. One of my proudest achievements was contributing as a developer to SHODHGANGA. I played one of the team members' roles in this national award-winning thesis repository project. My technical expertise spans various tools and languages, including DSpace, KOHA, SubjectPlus, PHP, JavaScript, WordPress, Omeka, HTML, CSS, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Flutter. I have a proven track record in project management, team leadership, and delivering IT training workshops, ensuring that my teams are well-equipped to handle the latest in web development and library software customization. I am pursuing further education in Master of Library and Information Science and Cyber Security, Data Science & AI to stay ahead in the ever-evolving IT landscape. I am driven by a commitment to continuous learning and leveraging new technologies to provide cutting-edge solutions. I am excited to connect with fellow professionals, share insights, and explore opportunities where I can contribute to digital transformation in the library and IT excellence.
