This is Part 1 of my interview with Ramesh Pari who works for a well-known grocery tech firm. You may ask: “Why am I interviewing someone from a tech company?” However, it may surprise you that Ramesh is an architect and is the Head of BIM Design & Coordination. 

Ramesh left being a practising architect 6 years ago after not finding enjoyment in the profession and in his own words had a toxic relationship with architecture. 

Ramesh is a child of an immigrant family from South Asia and thought the pursuit of becoming an Architect would result in him having a comfortable life. However, like more and more people in architecture, this is no longer popular as the salaries are quite frankly, SH*T.

Part 2 will focus on what happened when he left architecture and entered the tech sector.
