Morris M
I am an MBA student at XLRI Jamshedpur, bringing over three years of enterprise technology experience from Cognizant, where I delivered software solutions for Fortune 500 clients across the banking and industrial manufacturing sectors. I hold a Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Science from St. Joseph's College of Engineering, Chennai. My professional background spans backend development with Java and Spring Boot, cloud technologies on AWS, and observability platforms including Splunk and AppDynamics. At Cognizant, I contributed to production governance, large-scale deployments, and cloud optimization initiatives for high-impact systems. Having collaborated with cross-functional teams on critical, business-facing engineering challenges, I developed a strong ability to bridge technical problem-solving with strategic priorities — a perspective I now carry into my management studies at XLRI.
