If your job were a movie, who would play you in the starring role, and what would the movie's tagline be?  

I would like to see Leonardo DiCaprio playing me in the starring role, bringing the same charisma and adaptability seen in "The Wolf of Wall Street”. I mean, in my line of work, engaging with users and being quick on your feet are essential. And since dealing with technical issues involves quite some investigation too, I think a fitting movie tagline would be “One IT maverick's epic journey through bytes and breakthroughs." 

Which part of the support responsibilities do you enjoy the most, engaging with the users or doing the detective work behind the scenes? 

Given my background in IT, I find the detective work to be particularly enjoyable—Identifying and resolving the root causes of issues is a satisfying challenge. It allows me to leverage my analytical skills, troubleshoot effectively, and implement long-term solutions. While engaging with users is essential for communication and understanding their needs, the problem-solving aspect of detective work aligns well with my skills and provides me with a sense of accomplishment.  

Imagine a week off with zero work commitments – how would you choose to spend it?  

I'd focus on relaxation, personal development, and enjoyment. I'd prioritize self-care with ample rest, meditation, and activities I love. For personal growth, I'd read, learn new skills, and possibly take an online course. Spending time with friends and family, engaging in outdoor activities, traveling, and indulging in leisurely pursuits like movies or cooking would round out a balanced and fulfilling break.

When the stress levels rise, what's your favorite way to unwind and blow off some steam? 

My favorite way to unwind and blow off some steam is through physical activity. Whether it's a brisk workout, a jog, or a session at the gym, exercise helps release tension and promotes a sense of well-being. Additionally, I find relaxation in activities like mindfulness meditation, allowing me to clear my mind and regain focus. Engaging in hobbies, such as reading or playing music, also provides a welcome escape, helping me recharge and approach challenges with a refreshed perspective. 

Stranded on a deserted island, and you get to pick just one thing to have with you – what's your must-have item? 

The pragmatist in me would go for a versatile and durable multipurpose tool, such as a Swiss Army Knife. Its versatility, combining features like a knife, saw, and other tools, would prove invaluable for various tasks, from building shelter to procuring food. Having a tool with multiple functions increases my chances of adapting to the challenges of survival on the island efficiently.
