In this constantly changing world, upskilling is important to stay ahead of the competition, and I am always focused on developing my skills. Simplilearn helped streamline my upskilling process by customizing a special course package for me!
The Journey
I have been in the IT industry for 15 years. I started my career as a Marketing Executive at Rajdhani Cables. Later I joined Wipro Infotech as a System Engineer and got promoted to Cloud Consultant. I then took the position of Solution Architect at RedHat India, followed by the position of a GSI-Partner Solution Architect at VMware India. At present, I am employed at Google as an Infrastructure Modernization Specialist. I have been working there for the last year.
The Challenge
I understand the fast pace of technological development and its impact on the IT sector. Unfortunately, I was not up-to-date with the latest technologies in the market. While working at VMware as a Solutions Architect, I had to talk to customers and visualize premium-class solutions. It was then that I realized my need for skill development. I wanted a better work opportunity which also required me to upskill.
After thoughtful consideration, I decided to learn about cloud computing and focused on DevOps. With the new-found knowledge and achieved skills, my journey toward my career goal has become easier and faster.
