Testing the webcam... - S. Desai
I have a Bachelor of Engineering degree from Stony Brook University and a MBA from Hofstra University (host of the 3rd presidential debate for the Election of 2008). My work experience includes almost four years in the aerospace industry where I worked on a team writing software for a complex fuel gauging system. I left to finish my MBA on a full-time basis.
Learning new things and expanding my horizons has always been my interest, and writing for Suite101 seems like the perfect opportunity to do that, as knowledge will accompany the vast amount of research that must be done to prepare articles.
