Biographie de M R Manna
Mahmudur R. Manna is a technologist, innovator, and philosopher with over two decades of experience in the fields of Business Intelligence (BI), Data Warehousing, and AI-driven enterprise solutions. But beneath his technical achievements lies a deep, lifelong quest to understand the profound questions of existence, faith, and human nature. From his childhood, Manna was captivated not just by the logical frameworks of computers but by the complexities of theology and philosophy.
Growing up, he fostered close relationships with people from various spiritual and religious traditions-Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, and Christians alike-seeking to understand the fabric of belief that guides human life. He spent time with monks, religious scholars, and community leaders, immersing himself in their teachings, ideas, and lifestyles. This early exploration drove Manna's lifelong quest to find the constants in life, much like one searches for constants in science, by observing and experiencing the many variables of human existence.
Manna's academic and career journey reflects this sense of experimentation and discovery. After completing 11th grade, he took a detour from traditional education, joining an Islamic Deobandi curriculum, only to later switch to the English Edexcel curriculum. His eclectic career spans seven entrepreneurial ventures and specialist roles at leading Fortune 500 companies and Big 4 firms. Throughout his professional life, Manna has balanced his technical innovations-such as his pioneering work in Data Warehousing and AI-with his philosophical curiosity about the human condition.
His career, marked by entrepreneurial bootstrapping and a deep dive into enterprise solutions, mirrors his personal philosophy of starting from scratch and adapting to new contexts. Manna has switched roles in 17 companies and worked across Europe, immersing himself in both city and rural life, and observing the people he encountered along the way. Each change in his professional and personal life is part of an ongoing experiment to identify the "constant" of life amid the shifting "variables."
