“Every line of code, every strategy session, and every keynote I’ve delivered has been a step in a story that’s still unfolding. I’m not here to just build systems or solve problems—I’m here to craft a legacy.” Hi, I’m Drijesh PPatel. My journey began in a small town, armed with nothing but curiosity and an insatiable drive to learn. Fast forward 13+ years, and I’ve had the privilege of leading transformative projects, mentoring future leaders, and speaking on stages I once dreamed of. When I first stepped into the world of technology, it wasn’t just about building products—it was about solving problems. I realized early on that challenges weren’t obstacles; they were opportunities to grow, innovate, and create something meaningful. Six years in, I shattered expectations by becoming one of the youngest project managers in my company’s three-decade history, leading projects for global investment banking giants. But it wasn’t the title that mattered—it was the impact I made. The Chapters That Shaped Me 🌟 The Leader: As a Cybersecurity Engineering Manager for QRadar at IBM, I’ve led teams to deliver AI-powered, secure, and scalable solutions that drive real-world impact. 🌟 The Achiever: From being named one of India’s "40 under 40" to mentoring over 700+ professionals, every milestone has been a testament to hard work and an unyielding belief in possibilities. 🌟 The Speaker: Delivering over 300+ talks has been one of the most rewarding parts of my journey. Sharing insights, learning from others, and sparking conversations about AI, cybersecurity, cloud, and leadership keeps me inspired. What Keeps Me Going I believe the best leaders are always learning. From earning my Executive MBA to exploring cutting-edge technologies like AI/ML, and Cloud, I’ve embraced every chance to grow. Because in a world that’s constantly changing, staying still isn’t an option. And while my professional life is full of challenges and achievements, it’s the little moments that truly ground me. Cooking while singing along to old Hindi classics, chasing the perfect shot with my camera, and answering my curious 8-year-old’s endless questions over a plate of home-cooked food remind me why I do what I do. Whether you’re here to discuss ideas, solve a problem, or simply share a virtual coffee, I’d love to connect. Because every conversation, like every challenge, is a chance to grow.
