Welcome back to the show my fellow Extraordinary Americans. For today’s guest, we have Harish Beeram. Harish is an immigrant who came to America and is the embodiment of the entrepreneurial spirit of this nation.
In spite of being declared legally blind by the doctors, he fought against the odds to make it over here. He is the founder and Chief innovations officer at Solutions UI UX. Inc previously, he has been an enterprise UI mobile architect in various organizations like Inspire Brands, Agile, thought, and alumni Plan clarifier and Raymond James.
His passion is in innovations and UI UX solutions for his clients in the areas of UI, architecture, UX design, UI development, and all things front end. He has designed, architected, and developed large, medium, and small-scale applications with UX design principles. And user-centered design in mind. He loves to focus on product, vision, direction, strategy, and implementation and strongly believes that we need to make it easy for users, no matter how hard it is to do so.
He’s also the founder of Enable World, which creates a better quality of life for people with disability. It does so by collaborating with inventors, researchers, and funders to create technological innovation to enhance mobility, the senses, and relationships for a better and more enabled world. I’m honored to have it. Him on the show today and it’s a great honor for me. Harish, are you there?
Yes, Cosmos, can you hear me?
Yeah, I can hear you. It’s so good to have you on the show. Harish, how are you doing today?
Doing great. Thank you and thanks for inviting me to this show. It’s an honor to be on your podcast.
No, it’s mine. The honor is mine. So, Harish, I know that you are the founder and CEO and you’re an entrepreneur. Can you tell us a little bit more about yourself, your background, and how you got started?
I was born and raised in India, and I came as an immigrant, as a student to the United States to pursue my higher Master’ degree. I came for mechanical engineering and then after graduating with a Master’ degree with a 3.6 GPA, I struggled to find a job that would be able to take care of my living expenses.
So after almost a year of struggle, there was a pivotal movement, six and a half years of study in mechanical engineering. Am I going to leave? Or do I have to leave America? As we all, whoever is immigrating or coming for education purposes, we all want to be successful and there is this challenge that life puts you in some situations where you have to make some hard decisions.
And at that point, I have to leave my mechanical engineering. And picked up software engineering as a career path of choice, and from there on, as you mentioned earlier, I became an architect in friend and technologist with the challenge of the legally blind and having low vision made me stronger too able to pursue careers as we all are given these challenges in life, and it is when We are made stronger.
So that also led me into the entrepreneur journey because I wanted to make it easier for the next generation. The challenges that I have faced should not be faced by the younger generations, hence my entrepreneurial spirit.
Harish, it’s all like interviewing you like talking to you is almost like talking to like a reflection of myself because I was an immigrant. And then I came to America, and I studied electrical engineering and I had to let that entire thing go because I did too because I knew that that was not for me or like God and not put that path for me for some reason. And also, because my parents wanted me to do engineering, and so it was more of not really much of a choice.
But then eventually I found the entrepreneurial path along my job. So, it’s really interesting how we have similar paths like these similar paths and all of that, but it seems. Like you had. To go through like some sort of metamorphosis. Like how did you? Your overall vision and regarding your career change from mechanical engineering to where you are now exactly.
Yes, so, from childhood. I think it was around 4th grade when I always wanted the first time I heard the word engineer, something clicked in my consciousness. This is what I want to pursue. In the 4th Grade, I didn’t know what kind of engineering was. But while I was growing up, I wanted to become a software engineer. However, I could not be at the top. 2% that could get into a software engineer. So as the universe gives this.
I know all about it. I know all about Indian schools and how hard it is, all about the grades and Marks and all that stuff. And like it’s all about memorizing and they don’t really teach. You properly in that way you know.
And when I had to take mechanical engineering, it was a diversion from what I initially wanted to become a software engineer. But once you get into that carrier, you get attached to that carrier and you think that now that’s for me or I have to be a mechanical engineer.
But once again, life throws a challenge at you where you have to leave it all. Of that but. Bring engineering skills and design skills that can be transferred to any field of engineering. It could be software, civil, mechanical, or electrical. We are all engineers. We are problem solvers and how we better humanity. From this stage onwards, that’s what I feel is where we can make a difference.
So, Harish, what is that transition point like? Because I know it happened to me when I studied electrical engineering for 4 1/2 years and then I ended up not even using it like I had to… I ended up doing something completely different and it was one of the hardest things to let go of all the time and investment that I made in this certain subject.
And for you, what is the transition point? Because I know it’s supremely hard, like emotionally, like you have the position where you were like, I can’t do mechanical engineering anymore. I got to go in a different direction and how did that lead to entrepreneurship?
As I mentioned earlier. It was almost 10 months of trying mechanical engineering jobs and I was going to even where a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering was not needed. I went to an A position where it was like an associate degree is enough and when my manager over there was interviewing me, I didn’t even have a master’s degree. You have a master’s degree.
Are you sure you want to take this $ 20.00-an-hour job? And I said absolutely. I was hungry. I need to be able to pay my expenses and they rejected me because I was overqualified and that put me in a.
Oh my God. That is ridiculous.
And because that situation is OK, am I going to make it if I have to make it, then first of all, there is an A challenge with mechanical engineering where if you don’t have a green card, it’s very difficult. My thesis was published in a journal. Even though Ford or GM wanted to hire me, they couldn’t hire me. Because I did not have a green card. So, you have to go from F1 to H1B visa and all of those challenges, along with being able to establish a career.
One day I was stuck, and I was in mine. In front of the mirror, I had to decide either mechanical engineering or being in America. so, when that became a. Do or die situation. Where we have to let some things go, even though we are attached to them because there is something that the universe is planning for us a better opportunity. But in that particular moment, we don’t know it and we always feel that this is very, very challenging, but once you take that leap of faith and like whatever it’s going to happen, right? It’s like marching. To which right you have to go in front of it is like the burning bridge. Right.
So, when there’s a burning bridge and this was in my career where it was a burning bridge, there’s no looking back. It’s burning. The time I had to just leap forward and just don’t even think behind and that. Led to me. Go and introspect and it becomes very, very challenging. So, six months of hard work for almost 18 hours a day. I used to go to my training and spent 18 hours from 6:00 AM to 12:00 PM in the night, so I used to be in the dark like I used to go, and it used to be dark in the morning.
It used to be dark, so only for lunch I used to get out and I used to go for lunch and that’s when I saw the daylight after that, I was mostly commuting in the dark, and after months of doing that. It was my time when I said OK. This shouldn’t be so challenging for the younger generation, something needs to change, and we all want things to change in the world, but we don’t want to not take ownership and I wanted to take ownership of that.
What is in my area of influence, and what is in my control? Can I make it easy for the next generation, hence the entrepreneurial spirit of teaching this software design and engineering to the younger generation was born almost 16 years ago when it was that situation, and it was a promise to myself.
When I am at a good stage in my career, I’m going to come back. I’m going to treasure these moments which are very, very challenging and I’m going to do something about it; because when you inquire within yourself, it is… Why do I always come up right as you are going through that struggle, you said, why did the universe choose me? Why me?
But at this particular point, when I look back at my career. Thanks to the universe that has chosen me and now my attitude has changed from Why me to Try me? Because it is as big as the problem. There is an opportunity for me to become bigger than the problem where the problem is now, I can look at the problem from a higher level of dimension and solve the problem so that it is better meant for humanity. It’s better meant for me and for everybody, so hence the entrepreneurial spirit.
And when COVID happens, that’s when it rubber hits the rope. Like I took all of my 16 to 17 years of career and packaged it up as a free force, packaged it. Up and then gave this free course online and LinkedIn and people joined the course and they found tremendous value. Of course. And that’s when I said, OK, this needs to go full screen and give this opportunity to the younger generation.
Harish, I love it because you know, a lot of people that are coming from India as immigrants, right? Their parents just tell them they’re conditioned to just do a job. Like if you were a computer programmer or if you’re a software engineer; Or in my case, an electrical engineer likes to get a high-paying job.
It’s like We’re never ever told to think in an entrepreneurial way. But what you did was different from most of the other people. Like they would have been happy with just. Having a 6-figure job in software engineering. You could easily get that but. You turned this around and you’d. You created a company and you’re helping people learn Software development, which is really amazing, you know, and so that is what is different about your story of yours and it’s amazing and it’s about this entrepreneurial spirit that we’re talking about.
But Harish, my question to you is, what is the biggest lesson you learned during this journey of yours when you started your company and created this business on helping people learn to code?
A lot of people think there is a word called Failure and I disagree with that. There is nothing called failure. There is only data collection and feedback and course correction. The moment you give that word a choice and you are now not letting your consciousness go to the next level. To be able to solve a problem, we need to be thinking higher than the problem, and that’s the only time innovations come in. Solutions come when you are detached and objective and when you always take whatever is coming to challenge Coming towards you. You have a choice. Either go straight in or you have a chance to run away.
And we all do that Day in and day out, we have a choice, and we make the choice. Sometimes it’s smart to run away where it is, not something that’s bigger than what you can handle, and sometimes where you can handle, and your consciousness drives you there and you can do it. You and when you get that from your consciousness. That it’s going to be fully supporting you, just follow your consciousness. Don’t follow your body. Don’t follow your mind. Always follow your consciousness.
And that’s the biggest friend for anybody to follow their consciousness and go straight into the problem and the problem will now start to become smaller because you are working on a different level and now you will be able to get ideas in your dreams or while you’re showering while you’re walking and now small pieces of the puzzles. You’re always conscious because now you are always focused, even though you don’t seem you are focused like you are doing something out of the blue.
But the ideas come in and that’s what I call consciousness. There it’s going to give you all the hints. Like maybe this is going to work maybe. Right. So that’s how I look at it to always be conscious.
So, Harish, there’s an interesting Point. I want you to explain to the audience a little bit more about, you know, the fear of failure and how this thing is a failure. There’s only data collection and course correction like this is a mindset which. Most people don’t have, so could you elaborate on how you think about the failure and like data collection?
Right. And again, our life is such a good friend, such a good teacher. Such a good experience that we all went through. And it was around 2015 when I went to a driver’s license office to get my driver’s license renewed, and they said that my eyes are so bad that we have to revoke my license. Right now, you can’t even drive the car back. And I saw it. It was almost like my life was looking for me, almost like a dream tower.
And how the Twin Towers came in that 10 minutes and I could see my life falling apart. And something in my conscience was saying this is not the end, this is just the beginning. Be there, stick with it, and go right in.
So, I had to call my wife and tell my wife. Please pick me up. My license has been renewed and revoked. So, 2 1/2 to three years of struggling to get all of the rides and Ubers and asking people for friends. Spouse and all of that. Right, there was something in my consciousness. I cannot accept this like I should be able to try. I am. I never had a ticket in my whole career until now. I don’t have a ticket. I have one warning and that was also not a fault. It was just that I broke, and I never had a ticket or even a warning by that time.
So, I’m a safe driver and I think driving is a privilege because of my low vision, so. When I was going through this challenge, after two and after three years, I researched something called biotic driving and when I researched that, I found that there is a doctor in Fort Lauderdale. I could go and meet him, and he was like a God’s gift, a godsend gift. And he was asking me… I have studied your macular degeneration. I’ve seen how your eyes are doing right now, but what do you want? They’re like all they want to be able to read books and drive. And he said yes, there’s something called back to praying. I can certify you for that. And I said, Are you sure, Doctor?
And he said yes because I know people like you have always taken driving as a privilege and not as a right. None of my patients are bad drivers and I can bet on them he gave something called what I’m showing here is these biotic driving, which was a solution to the problem that I was facing right now. My hands are back.
I am no longer handicapped. I can drive. Of course. I drive very carefully and do not drive in the night too much. That like for every problem there is a solution, we just have to go inwards. Feel the consciousness and listen to our consciousness, how we can navigate.
Uh, I know. Like, so I know you mentioned that you were legally blind and all of that when you were rejected for the driving thing. What has your process been like these two years? Two to three years in between this and you finally find a solution because the reason I’m asking is that a lot of people go through really dark and hard times there. Seems to be completely bleak.
Right.
And hopeless. Like what kept you going and what? What was it that gave you hope during this time?
Yes. So, I went through a challenging phase during that time, and I had to go through something of a health crisis when this health crisis hit me, it hit me even harder than the previous one, the one with the driving license was reworked, right?
So now on top of this, I have a health crisis and the mental wellness crisis that I have to now take a Step back and assess my life. I was seeing myself as an enterprise UI architect who has been able to do work as a software architect. However, this made me go inwards even and start asking questions like. Why am I here? Right. What is my purpose? And I do have a passion for the software side.
But I was trying to figure out my purpose and when this came into alignment. Day in and day out, I struggle as a person with disabilities, and it came to me as a purpose like. How would it be if you became an advocate for people with disabilities and you now have a mission to be able to help, there are 1.3 billion brothers and sisters all over the world who are people with disabilities.
So, it’s almost 20% or like percent of the. Population well and. Being an advocate for 1.3 billion people all over the world, we are in every country, every state, every city, every color, and every race.
That is actually, that’s the population of India if you take a look but yeah.
Right, right. So that’s when I said, OK. Yes, I take it. This is my opportunity to become an advocate and what can I do to be an advocate? So, then an idea formed. For learning about accessibility, teaching about accessibility because I’m a software architect, I learned much about how to make software applications accessible, and I helped my previous companies to be able to create accessible software, and I started giving lectures and conferences talks about web accessibility.
And while doing that. It came to me that why don’t I open my own charity called Enable world.org, which is modeled against enable india.org? So, I was inspired by the founder and CEO of Individual India, Shanti Raghavan, and Deepak, who are doing a fantastic mission in India. They are also called Fellow Members and have been awarded one of the highest awards because of their work for people with disabilities. I was so inspired by them and said when She was able to give away her career in the United States, go back to India, and start from ground zero, right when you start from Ground Zero. You know how challenging it is, you being an electrical engineer, you started again from Ground Zero, right?
So, they went and did that from Ground Zero. And establish such an amazing organization that is completely focused on people with disabilities. And when I saw and got inspired, I said OK. What are the chances that enable world.org website domain is still waiting in this 2022 or 2021 right when I registered so it the domain was waiting for me to grab it and I said OK enable world is now going to be a charity organization which I spent My personal money to start this charity and the mission to be able to help people with disabilities. Right now, innovations are bypassing people with disabilities right, and right now, the current market state is even more challenging for normal people. Forget about people with disabilities, right?
So, who is going to stand up for them? And that’s where my purpose and passion are now aligned. Where I’m standing up for my brothers and sisters of 1.3 billion people as an advocate and do in my area of influence whatever it takes to help. Go to the next level.
That is awesome. I’m really happy for you. Like, I’m proud that you’re doing this because we need people to help others with disabilities. You know, that’s a really important thing to do.
And so only 2 times do people change. People change with either inspiration or desperation. And in my situation I was desperate because I… And people only also change when something happens to them or their loved ones.
So, at that particular point, it happened to me and I was going through my deterioration in my eyes, and now challenge over challenger coming. And it’s just… To nudge me on the right path, right? And when I understood that mission then things started aligning so always, when the question comes, “why me” Just try to ask the question, “Try me” and go inwards and now you will have purpose and passion alignment. That’s what I feel.
That is awesome, Harish. I love the code. Try me. You know that that is. Yeah, that it just changes your mindset and it’s like those critical things you.
So, Harish, I know that you’re like you are an entrepreneur, and you came here as an immigrant. Can you tell me and the audience a little bit more about the experience of how you or how you perceive America from somebody that came from outside and how you see the landscape? And do you think that it’s a land of Opportunity or not?
Actually, it’s a land of opportunity when you are going to be able to really believe it’s not believing in it. It’s knowing that it’s a land of opportunity. With the odds against me 99% failure chances, right again, there’s nothing called failure and 1% chance.
So, if there is even a 1% chance or even if you feel in life, there is a 0.1% chance. Take the chance there is it’s a land of opportunities and you have to know it. And you have to be able to take it to the level where… Because it is always bigger Than a person. A mission when people work on their mission and their purpose, it’s always bigger and it is bigger towards the level of humanity.
It’s not about religion, not about the country, not about race. It’s more toward humanity and when we ask that question. What did humanity give to me? We should reverse that question and what can I give back to humanity, right?
That’s that. It’s like one of those JFK quotes, right? Ask not what you can do for yourself. What you can do for the nation.
And let’s go beyond the nation. Now it’s the world. It’s all global. Business is now beyond borders, right? Everything is digital nowadays.
So, Harish one thing I’ve noticed like in my case and like even in your case and a lot of other people that came from outside and then like they took advantage of the opportunity that America provides that the people that are native over here, they seem to take America takes for granted, regarding when it comes to like opportunities to be financially free, entrepreneurship, and all that stuff it feels like they don’t appreciate now.
But people that come from outside, such as yourself, tend to appreciate everything that is given, like as you were saying, it’s a privilege, not like a right or something like that. What are your thoughts on all of this altogether?
I am immensely blessed to be able to be born outside the United States because I have gone. I was born and brought up in lack and scarcity, where resources were limited and in almost towards the lower middle-class family, where sometimes it was difficult where we had to wait for the paycheck. From my dad. To be able to, we were going into debt every month, right?
And you see the resources that developing countries like India, or any other countries Have. It is a mind shift because being born outside of the United States is a blessing, and now you come up with this mindset of when I come to America, it’s a land of opportunities. But I feel I’m living in heaven on Earth, and I feel that everybody should be able to live in heaven on Earth.
But it starts with the inner peace and the inner peace that I feel in myself is reflected in my community, my neighborhood is so beautiful every day I am walking in my neighborhood or getting my car in my neighborhood. I see nature and the water and all of this, and I speak. This is heaven. This is heaven. It’s like Reconfirmation and other confirmation and I feel that people should start looking from my eyes, even though I’m legally blind, I feel I’m living in heaven on earth.
I’m not kidding at all, and this is a blessing I would like people who have been born over here to be able to please take a trip outside of the United States go to Africa, go to India, go to any country that is lower, middle class, or almost towards poverty nation, and you will see how great of a land is the United States of America.
And that’s when you will feel the honor to be born and brought up in America. You are in the top five, but the fact that you were born in America, you are already in the top 5%. And now you just have to go to the next level if you would like to.
Harish that is awesome, but I do think that people such as you and me because we were born outside, we see the contrast between the different worlds. we understand how … I’ve been in three different parts of the world, right, including the middle east. And I see how it is outside and then I come over here and people have a different mindset and that’s where gratitude and appreciation come from, right? We’re not going to be appreciative of things that we do not know about.
So, what you’re saying is true that people need to travel more than they can understand more of what. They already have
Absolutely, absolutely.
You know. So, Harish, from your perspective, what do you think is the greatest challenge that Americans have when it comes to realizing the American dream and how can they overcome this challenge?
First of all, it is beyond borders. I want every American to think beyond America. It is global. It is the world. So those are the days that were three decades ago, the American Dream now dreams bigger, dreams for humanity, dreams for mankind.
When we are in America it is such an abundant and wealthy country and we are going through such an emotional shift. A lot of mental health issues, physical issues, and so many other issues are going on. What about Africa? What about Sudan, where there is no clean water? There is no food and…
We need to start thinking globally. How can we shape the resources so that every human being who lives on the earth can at least have clean drinking water and some food that they can? None of the children in the world should sleep in hunger.
And we should feel the pain of every child who is sleeping with hunger as our own children, and how we can go beyond the borders and make this a global humanitarian effort that everybody deserves food and clothing. And shoved. That’s my take on the American dream is no longer the American dream. It is a dream for humanity. Let’s dream of something bigger than America. Let’s dream for the whole world and hence my enableworld.org yes.
That is awesome.
So, Harish. This is one question I wanted to ask you right since you and I are like we’re both were born in India. So, in India, there is spirituality they have. This is about. Moksha AKA Freedom and also like they talk about how to attain happiness by going within.
But what I noticed is that America is also about freedom and the pursuit of happiness, but a lot of people tend to like to try to go through that by going into materialism. From your perspective, how do you think Americans can attain freedom and like and like to attain ultimate happiness?
Your question is giving me goosebumps, and this is amazing because my consciousness is so happy to answer that question. The freedom that spirituality from India talks about is liberation and Nirvana and the state that Buddha showed and what Shiva in India is always in that state, right?
But think about this, we are living in 2023 right now. We are here to make a difference to humanity and human consciousness, so freedom in the materialistic world, that’s right, can be attained through financial freedom or something like that. But freedom is within, right?
So when you go within you meditate. I do something called Kriya Kundalini yoga and meditation. When you do meditation, when you do yoga, it is when you realize your true self. There are groups where there are believers, but seekers are alone, so go beyond the believers beyond the religion and become a seeker. And when you become a seeker now you are meditating. You’re doing yoga.
And after that, you go to the next level where you know the truth about your origin. Who am I? Is that question puzzling? Right. When you know the truth and that truth comes to you through your dreams, through your visions, through your consciousness, talking to you. And It’s when you give chance to your own consciousness to be your friend, to guide you with this journey that we have on this earth at this particular point in time. It is when we have to have self-love when we have that self-love. It’s pouring within you in such a manner that is over. It’s like now you have so much abundance of self-love that you can start sharing this unconditional love with anybody.
It’s the unconditional love and the light that you can be to the rest of humanity and the consciousness that you can start lighting the candle of hearts and you could be a big candle that others can start in like their candles. If they are in the place of darkness, and that’s where unconditional love and unity consciousness, where we all come together as humanity is much more important than country, religion, origin, race, ability, disability, whatever it is.
There’s something like that I wanted to talk about since we’re talking about this. Right, so I. Look at the writings and teachings of this person called Paramahansa Yoga, who actually came and taught yoga in the West, and he also practiced Kriya yoga and he basically said that God’s secret plan was to basically bring because he knew that America Is an abundance of materialism, and in India is spirit has spiritual knowledge.
So, it was like the ultimate plan of the Divine plan is to bring balance between the material and the spiritual world, where basically Americans have spiritual knowledge, whereas India would have material knowledge and then ultimately there’ll be harmony and balance.
And this is something that I find in your case like you came to America and you’re having success financially, but you’re also having success through life because of you. Understand yoga, meditation, and all of that. And yes, happiness is truly attained. You have this balance in your life, and that is kind of what God wants for humanity. And like in large, or at least that’s what I believe. What? That’s my perspective. So, it’s amazing that you put that you know.
Yes, absolutely. And when Vivekananda also came in 1902 to give in, in the religious talk, he started with the sentence Right, brothers, and Sisters of America. Right. And now it’s a time of brothers and sisters of the world. It’s no longer America. It’s just the whole world.
And how we take care of each other, it’s. It’s beyond the borders. When we give humanity a chance, right? There is no need for a war. There is no need. There’s peace with them. When we understand peace is not outside and when the peace that starts from within the love and light that starts from within, it’s almost like a sound son always gives right and the plan is absorbed.
So, let’s become Like Sun that is always flowing out, love and light toward humanity can take over. Understand their own purpose and this land?
That is, that is awesome. Yeah. So yeah, I would want to, I could go about this for hours, but we only have about 45 minutes to an hour.
Yes, agreed. Agreed.
So, I got to move on to the next, but I did that deeply Touch my heart though because it’s something that I truly believe extraordinary America ultimately is about. I know I talk about financial freedom on this podcast a lot, but ultimately, it’s about spiritual freedom as well because like the American identity of the pioneering entrepreneurial spirit, like eventually, what the point that I want to makeover a period of time is that instead of looking out into the external world.
We have to look within, and we have to start the process ultimately of yoga meditation to get to that state. It’s like only through mastering your mind that we can ultimately find true happiness. I’m really grateful that you brought this up in the way that you Talked about this and so.
On a Harish different note, I know you talked a little bit about your enable world like you’re the founder of it.
So, and you’re also doing these courses like you’re doing These programming courses. Can you tell me and the audience a little bit more about these courses that you’re doing for programming as well as a little bit more about enabling the world.
Yes, the solutions UI UX is a for-profit company that does offer this course for becoming a software designer which doesn’t involve programming. And then there is also an instructor LED course that is for programming which is designing the user interface or developing the user interfaces mobile interfaces or web applications or websites, right?
So, there are 2 parts, one is a designer who creates the designs, who doesn’t have to do the programming side of it, and one is the developer side, which is a software engineer who does the programming, and takes the design that the designer does.
Because being an architect, I’ve done both design and development which makes me blend 2 worlds together. I could train somebody who is from an arts background to be able to see how much background in English, philosophy, or literature you can come from any background as long as you have a bachelor’s degree or even you don’t even have to have a bachelor’s degree, because sometimes education is overrated.
So, you can have after high school you can directly take this course which will eliminate all the algebra classes. Partial differential equations, higher calculus… All of that is not needed. Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, English, Spanish. That is all not needed. All you get in this course is a software designer needs to know the design principles, the tools, the design tools that need to be done, and practice projects like 6 practice projects or something like that.
And then you are ready, within 6 to 9 months you are ready to actually hit the ground running because now you have been trained to be able to take up a job as a software UX designer. That’s one career track and the other career track is a software developer which is a software front-end software engineer where they can start developing mobile apps, web apps, and those kinds of things. Air carrier track that people can also take who are interested in the programming side, so we offer that through solutions UI UX for the general population all over the world there are students from India, Nigeria, Mauritius, and the US everywhere.
And then If you are a person with a disability and that person with a disability will get this course for free because of this Is my commitment to my brothers and sisters who are people with disabilities, can take this course for free and then they can up their career opportunities.
Harish, I would advise anybody in my audience that is interested in programming and software development to basically take your course. Where can they? Where can they find this? Where do they go to find this?
it’s called solutionsUIUX
U as in Umbrella, I as in India U as in Umbrella X as in X mas tree. Dot com solutionsuiux.com.
And when you go there, learn UI UX and there is a page that will go through all of that research like what will this career do for you and how you can get enrolled and watch a free webinar that I have over there for one plus hour and now you understand step by step process I lay out that process. How to become a software designer in the next three – Nine months. So, there are three levels: beginner level, intermediate level, and advanced level.
So, it will take almost nine months to come to the advanced level. It’s almost time compression. 9 years of your career now compress into nine months. Exactly what you need to be able to become a designer. Because think about it. Three to four years went in education and four to five years. To come to that level of experience and to come to that level of proficiency packaged in a box on self-paced learning and then coming on a weekly basis to ask any questions and then we answer those.
So now you can learn at your own pace. You could be a stay home husband, stay home, wife. Who could take this course? And come to the work field and work is going remote. Most of the work. Globally it is done remotely these days, especially in software design.
This is amazing because like in software development and software programming, that is like a legitimate career path. And if people learn that within this in less than a year, that could actually help them get actually pretty good money.
A lot of good software developers like, they’re making easily 6 figures, so I definitely. Would recommend My audience, if they’re interested in this field, basically go to you.
So yeah. So, Harish, is there any other project that you’re working on right now that you want the audience to get a glimpse of?
Yes, one of the projects as I mentioned right where with the passion that you get and there is also with the purpose that you get there is this idea that you keep on getting where you start meditating, you get all of these ideas. I have created something with a Collaboration and a Co-inventor of mine, something called a smart, adaptable wheelchair or smart adaptable wheelchair. Which is to help brothers and sisters who are in wheelchairs to have AI Help them. Right now, all the wheelchairs that are on the market are manual or like you can have automatic, but you keep on doing the same action.
So right now, I’m in my Home Office and I can just and I named it with my Co-inventor Elio, who is very humble and he’s been always on a wheelchair, and when I Co invented this with him. This is a future-looking wheelchair that is based on AI, but to enhance the lives of persons with disabilities and this. AI is like you just say, Elio takes me to the master bedroom. It automatically knows to take you to the master bedroom. It’s built-in Bluetooth sensors and GPS tracking everything so that a person with a disability can also rise up. So, when you and I are 16 people. I know that and when I say Elio. Right. I can. I can ask for my wheelchair. Let’s go to the standing position and it will raise me up.
So, all this innovation is sitting on a slide deck and I’m ready to give this to anybody who is ready to take this on as a mission. And because humanity needs it now and instead of sitting in a PowerPoint slide deck. For any organization who wants to work with us and can, this is a massive program with 11 projects in between with three universities working together to bring this technology and its life. Once the prototype is done, I would love to have Indian engineers work with American engineers and universities and bring this vision to life. That’s one of my projects that’s been sitting on my desk for one year, not knowing how to get this out to humanity.
Yeah, that is amazing. When I think about AI, I’m just afraid They become self-conscious. And then they’re like, who needs humans now?
But yeah, I want to clarify that I’m looking for a world with AI as an assistant. AI is like how Alexa or Siri is doing AI. Now Elio is going to be the AI-based wheelchair that enhances the life of a person with disabilities. It has these automatic hands. Those hands can now recognize the cell phone or my bottle over here, right? You just train it. And now it’s helping a person with a disability.
So, there is nothing wrong with AI. Its air is almost like a knife. In the kitchen. So, it’s up to human and human consciousness and intelligence how to use the knife. Yes, it is wrong intelligence. There is only one in a.
No, I was just joking. I was. Just joking about it. But yeah, I do. Support the AI thing.
So, Harish, how does my audience connect with you, and I get to know more about what you’re doing and your work and all?
Of that absolutely they could text about solutions. SOLUTIONS take that word to #21,000 and if they are in the US they will get my digital business card which will have all my links at the bottom of my website. My e-mail, phone numbers, everything. Or they can go to solutions UI UX. Com and that’s where we are. We have all that website, and the charity site is enabledworld.org, so that’s.
