I am known as - Junaid
Where are you from? I am from and based out of Bangalore – have lived here most my life except for higher education and work.
You are educated, right? Driven by a deep desire and fascination to understand the human psyche I pursued and obtained an MS degree in Psychology with a specialization in Human Factors Psychology (Minor - Industrial/ Organisational Psychology). I completed the necessary undergraduate courses in psychology while I pursued and completed a MS degree in Electrical Engineering. My undergraduate degree is in Electrical and Electronics Engineering (from UVCE, Bangalore).
What do you do? I am the Co-founder and Director of My Chat Lesson Pvt Ltd - delivering learning content for high school students (CBSE, ICSE and KSEEB) through chat stories.
I am also a 'Designing Your Life (DYL)' certified Coach and a Stanford Life Design Educator for Universities. I have been helping individuals create a rewarding life and a fulfilling career through 1-on-1 coaching and through workshops.
Work experience? I have more than fifteen years of work experience as a Design Professional working with organisations such as Adobe, Oracle, ABB, IBM (among others).
Interest? There cannot be any other puzzle as cryptic or any other device as complex as the human mind. I am still as fascinated as ever to understand the human mind and what makes a human being do what he does. This is right in line with the work I do in Life Design and as a Design Professional.
Family? I am married to a PhD who worked at Indian Institute of Science as a post-doc for six years before taking up a teaching position (currently an Associate Professor) position at Dayanand Sagar University in Bangalore. We have a fifteen year old son.
Life's philosophy? This quote sums it up: “You only get one life. It's actually your duty to live it as fully as possible.” -Jojo Moyes
