Issaquah, WA – Abhijit Barve is a respected IT professional. For about thirty years, he has held many IT-related positions in several businesses, mainly Fortune 500 Companies.

Originally coming from Mumbai, India, Abhijit’s interest in IT developed during his formative years.

Ultimately, he attended Augustana College in Rock Island, Illinois, where he double majored in Computer Science and Business Administration. After receiving his bachelor’s degree, he then focused on receiving his MBA at Illinois State University in Normal, Illinois.

In 2014, he moved to Seattle, while employed at Raytheon.

“What sets me apart is my attention to detail and an ability to pinpoint the gaps,” observes Abhijit.

Currently, still residing in the Seattle metropolitan area, Abhijit is again employed with T-Mobile, as of late 2021. He holds a different position as a principal architect in the area of device financing and T-Mobile Money.

On a personal note, he also has been married to his wife Meera for over a quarter-century. They first met back in 1998, in India. Abhijit and Meera also keep busy with their three kids – one fourteen-year-old daughter and two eight-year-old sons.

As for the future, Abhijit plans to build a legacy. “I want to create something that could last beyond me,” shares Abhijit. One way in which he is doing that, is by working on a startup as part of the travel industry. Launching in September 2024, Siesta Global, according to him, “connects travel to the local experts by offering a more customized and personalized approach.”

“I have travelled extensively,” adds Abhijit.

“Never sell yourself short,” concludes Abhijit. “Always believe in your potential, being that you are capable of more that you can be. Challenge your boundaries!”
