It is as though referring to something that started in the past but is still going on in the present. The tense is know as past present.

My understanding is that "fulfill" is a present tense. Why is "the present" used here?
I think it should be either of them though:
I understand that you have fulfilled some of your earlier stage aspirations
OR
I understand that you fulfilled some of your earlier stage aspirations

The "earlier aspirations" are being fulfilled now.
I would call this the present tense.
