You might get the impression that the author studied engineering ("I studied engineering, not English...") or perhaps computer science ("...graduated at the top of my class in computer science...") whereas a quick look at his LinkedIn profile shows that he studied Management Information Systems[0] which, as far as I can tell, is a non-degree along the same lines as "Marketing" or "Media and Journalism" i.e. light on technical skills and heavy on jargon and buzzwords.
