SURAN WIJE'S   HOME PAGE

     Howdy! I'm a graduate of the University of Texas at Austin with dual degrees: a Geography B.A. in Biogeographically Environmental Systems and a Biology B.S. in Life Science Systems. I've also completed a medical school M.S. in the research and development (R&D) of internationally regulated biotechnologies such as drugs, devices, and biologics at the George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences.

     My managerial and financial skills were improved with an M.B.A. at our nation's largest women's university, the Texas Woman's University, and the Certified Financial Planner credential. Raised in a family of all boys, I also embraced inevitable human differences and transgressive identity choices as precious diversity with a Humanities M.A. in Women’s Studies. I'm intellectually promiscuous and have developed the Information Age systems-thinking capabilities of five distinct schools or colleges: Liberal Arts, Natural Sciences, Medicine, Business, and Humanities.

     Much of my background is in Information Technology (IT), Health IT (HIT), systems thinking, and predictive analytics with vendor-neutral certifications in software quality engineering, project management, systems analysis, quality auditing, and the secure software development lifecycle.

     I was born in Sri Lanka, a small tropical island in the Indian Ocean with beautiful beaches. At five years of age, my family moved to the United States. My childhood was spent in Norman, Oklahoma, but a majority of my youth was in the small farming community of Brimfield, Ohio.

     In my spare time, I enjoy Web stuff, workouts, gardening, student volunteering, reading theosophical/how-to books, and programming financial trading systems. For entertainment, I like to go to the symphony or theater, watch foreign and classic films, participate in running events, and teach little kids how to swim. Click Me!
