About me
I have a deep curiosity about cultures. The habits, histories, traditions, essentially the cultural fabric that shapes today’s norms. Manifestations thereof are of particular interest to me, be it in corporate spaces or casual internet watering holes.
Across professional spaces, I follow and sometimes contribute in discussions on LinkedIn (LinkedIn profile), X (X profile), Quora (Quora profile), Medium(Medium profile) and Reddit communities (particularly knowledge management, organizational design, data analytics and consulting subreddits). I generally share my thoughts on this website and on other relevant platforms.
I started with a technological background, developing a foundation in building ventures. Realizing my knowledge gaps, it naturally led me to pursue formal business education and develop expertise in business analytics.
As I explored how organizations can genuinely leverage the information they generate, I focused on data maturity and technology strategy consulting.
This evolved into a deeper interest in organizational design, strategy and business architecture. Essentially, the structural and strategic conditions that determine whether organizations can adapt, align and perform in the Information Age.
I consult organizations seeking to adapt to the Information Age drawing on this multidisciplinary foundation to organizational questions.
The evolution of modern organizations adapting to or born out of the Information Age has been a profound one as it has addressed the inclination towards higher agency work common across upcoming generations. Acting on similar tendency myself, I found that a self-serving, well taxonomized knowledge repository of completed tasks/projects is a must to navigate through various hats I had to wear as founder, and later as a consultant.
While synthesizing my own experience, management theory and discourse in business literature, I found that major chunks of crucial information about operating in modern world are siloed and rarely addressed as a whole. To put these silos into an encompassing narrative that subsumes the siloed context, and to highlight the necessity of a knowledge repository, I wrote a working paper titled Digital Backbone: Proposition unifying modern organizations’ autonomy and alignment in hopes to draw attention and to invite further dialogue on the matter. It is published on Social Science Research Network here doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.6687881, also available as a digital version on this website as Digital Backbone article.
Cultures and subcultures formed around small communities abundant across the social web are of particular interest to me. The borderless nature of the communities has enabled communities of people with very specific interests to thrive on the Internet.
I dabble in few of such communities centered around contemporary humor, satire, aesthetics, fiction and even current affairs, at their homes on Instagram, Facebook, Tumblr and discord. I’m also active on Steam and occasionally play Defense of the Ancients 2, and racing titles the Forza and Need for Speed series, among others.
