I think a successful engineer is a top level thinker who has the ability to combine abstractions together to create a structure . one should think -> design-> modularize -> implement -> abstract -> get things done , reinventing the wheel won't produce a car . that's simply what i believe in .

“Modularity based on abstraction is the way things get done” - Barbara Liskov "with focus , persistence & commitment , anything is just a matter of time" "knowledge is an inexhaustible well . the more you share from it , the more you get"
