Greetings!

My name is Roshan Sextus.

I am an avid technology enthusiast, world traveler and peace seeker.

I have experience in Operations and Project Management in the Engineering and Construction industry and in the Information Technology industry, leading project teams, support teams and specializing in security, server, telecommunications and networking.

I graduated from the University of Toronto in with a B.A. in City Studies; I have also attained a diploma in Business Administration from the Toronto School of Business /  CDI College, a Certificate of Project Management from Ryerson University and I am a Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) as certified by the EC-Council.

My interests include, but are not limited to sports like Soccer, Tennis and Squash; Musical instruments such as the guitar and piano; Ideologies such as Self-Improvement and Project Management; Well-being practices such as meditation and mindfulness, and concepts of Information Technology – networks, network security, data mining, programming, and web design.

I’m an avid fan of authors such as John Grisham, Tom Clancy, Michael Crichton, Daniel Suarez and  Robert Ludlum.  A few years ago, I randomly picked up a series called the Second Sons Trilogy by Jennifer Fallon, and was so fascinated by it that I recommend it to everyone.  It is possibly now my favourite set of fictional novels.

Recently, I’ve started reading books by Dale Carnegie and truly believe that if we all followed the principles in ‘How to win friends and influence people’ and ‘Think and grow rich’ the world would be a much friendlier place, and everyone would be successful. The main concepts that I’ve realized and try to live by are patience, care, thoughtfulness, focus and perseverance.

Over the past few years I’ve randomly picked certain TV Shows and watched and followed every episode fervently.  A few shows I highly recommend are Person of Interest, White Collar, Designated Survivor, 24, Star Trek (The Next Generation), Heroes, Dexter, The Wire, Sleeper Cell, Rome, Pushing Daisies, Scrubs, Journeyman, LOST, and Game of Thrones.

I am a huge fan of automobiles and technologies relating to them.  My previous vehicles include a 2008 Mercedes-Benz SLK280, and a 2012 Dodge Charger R/T Road & Track. (I have a few pictures in the Gallery section).

In terms of employment I’ve worked in different continents with past jobs at companies like SNC-Lavalin, IBM, Nortel Networks and have managed a few companies as well..

I love to travel and have been to Ireland, Spain, Armenia, India, Qatar, The United Arab Emirates, France, The Netherlands, England, Cuba, The Dominican Republic — and of course, Canada and The United States.  I’m not a huge fan of long flights though and really wish teleportation could be possible. (Unfortunately its possibility is only fathomable in sci-fi. In reality I don’t think the concept even makes sense)

To finish off, a bit about my name.  My first name Roshan originates from sanskrit and translates to ‘shining light’; my middle name, Antony has greek origins meaning ‘flourishing’, and my last name Sextus is Latin for ‘the sixth’.  In a nutshell, my name could translate to the sixth flourishing shining light.

Peace be with you,

Roshan
