Marine Engineer at Seaspan Ship Management himanshu.vasistha@gmail.com

Summary
If you ask my friends, my professors, the people I have worked with they will tell you that I am decisive, action-oriented, humble, willing to start a project from scratch and do what it takes to be successful in a given role. I dont judge success by job titles. No job is big or small. What matters to me is when someone puts their faith in giving you the responsibility to deliver. I come from an mechanical engineering background, with experience of working as a marine engineer, with a good knowledge of process requirements and coordination, and my objective from the very beginning is to work first with people and then with machines. I believe technology is a tool while people are assets.
