IT Manager & Writer

About me

Hi, I'm Sushant. I run IT operations in Dubai, and after 11+ years in the field, I've collected more stories, fixes, and lessons than I can count. This blog is my way of writing them down and sharing them.

I'm especially interested in how technology affects people, not just the systems and tools, but the human side of keeping IT running. You'll find a mix of how-to guides, small hacks, and reflections from my own journey.

Portrait of Sushant Virdi

My path in IT

Over the last 11+ years, I’ve worked with teams at Knowledge E, Flowershop.ae, and One.com, building IT systems that actually work for people. From running support desks to leading big infrastructure rollouts, I’ve had a hand in just about every part of IT operations.

Over the years, my focus has stayed the same: making IT systems reliable, simplifying the complex, and giving people the confidence to get their work done.

    Technology that helps people, not frustrates them.

Field notes

Themes that shape my notebooks

Every article captures a real project, outage, or decision point. These are the threads that keep surfacing in my work.

Security in context

Security only works if people can live with it. I write about making protection practical, turning policies into everyday habits and weaving safety into the culture of how teams actually work.

Human side of tech

Behind every system are people trying to get their jobs done. I explore how technology influences that experience, for better or worse, and what we can do to make IT less of a barrier and more of a partner.

Everyday quick wins

Not everything needs a huge project plan. Sometimes it’s the small tips, fixes, and shortcuts that make the biggest difference. I share the ones I’ve used (and reused) the most.

Learning from failure

Some of the best lessons come from mistakes. I write candidly about what didn’t work, why it failed, and how those moments shaped better decisions the next time.
