I pursued the DevOps Engineer Masters Program from Simplilearn because I wanted to change career domains. Along with upskilling, I landed a new job with a 110% salary hike!

My Career Journey So Far

I completed my graduation from REVA University, Bangalore. Previously, I worked at Rakuten as a Staff Engineer in Bangalore. Over the years, I got the opportunity to work with big MNCs like TATA, Cisco, and Rakuten. 

Currently, I am a Solutions Engineer at Deutsche Telekom IT Solutions HU in Budapest, Hungary. My work involves implementing organizational DevOps strategy in various environments of Linux and Windows servers and adopting various phases of the software development life cycle like development, analysis, requirements, design, testing, and support. 

The Challenge

I worked in the Java Development domain for quite a few years and wanted to switch to DevOps since it is a growing field. So, I opted for the DevOps Masters Program from Simplilearn to upskill myself and make the desired career switch. My long-term goals include gaining more experience and working on different projects to become a DevOps expert. I want to share my knowledge and contribute to the market.

The Simplilearn Solution

I believe Simplilearn is one of the best upskilling platforms for any professional or fresher. The course is very well curated and organized, so anyone from any background can understand the concepts. I liked the hands-on experience with the practice labs. It was really helpful for me to get practical exposure. The course developed my skills from beginner to advanced level with the help of the great faculty.    

The Simplilearn Impact

The course from Simplilearn developed my skills and knowledge in DevOps from scratch. I was able to land a new job with a 110% increase in my salary. I moved to Hungary in June this year. The knowledge I gained helped me crack the interview easily and perfectly. I recommend Simplilearn to anyone who wants to upgrade their skills and get certified.

Originally from India, I lived in the United States for 15 years. I have worked in the IT sector for the past 20 years. My job with Dell EMC required extensive travel, which I no longer wanted to do, so I explored other options in the industry. I worked with big corporations such as Reliance in India, and I enjoyed its corporate structure. So, I decided to get back to the corporate work life. 

I joined Fortinet as a principal DevOps infrastructure engineer after shifting my focus to DevOps. DevOps combines software development and IT operations to shorten the systems development life cycle and deliver high-quality software. After working in this capacity for a year, I felt I needed to upskill my talents in DevOps and signed up for Simplilearn’s online bootcamp. 

I chose Simplilearn’s PGP in DevOps course. Simplilearn offers its course online, and I found the curriculum quite interesting. My employers also recognized the value of the course, which was another plus point for me. 

Now I can apply the knowledge I gained from the course to my work. Before the course, it was challenging for me to carry out particular assignments and projects because I came from an infrastructure background. Now, my employer knows that I have taken this course and can handle a broader range of tasks. Based on this certification, I can ask for more projects from my employers. 

My experience with Simplilearn was great. Before joining the course, I knew that I was going for DevOps, but the course gave me a structural understanding of it. 

Simplilearn’s course selection stood out in the crowd

Once I decided to upskill myself, I researched different courses and universities. I discovered Simplilearn’s PGP in DevOps course, which has a positive reputation. It immediately caught my attention. Simplilearn offers an online course that fits my needs, especially during the pandemic. Also, I am a full-time working professional, so I prefer learning online. But I enrolled in the course after seeing the curriculum, and it was everything I sought. Simplilearn is true to its name — learn simply. 

My employers also recognized the value of the course, which was another plus point for me. 

Overcoming hesitation about learning online

My experience with Simplilearn has been great. Before joining the course, I decided to get into DevOps, but the course gave me a structural understanding of it. Interestingly, my wife was hesitant about me taking a digital course, and she thought the experience might not be as beneficial as in-person [DN1] classes, but it turned out to be valuable. The instructors were excellent. Also, studying with people from different backgrounds and experience levels was something new.

One of my responsibilities as a Xeon platform applications engineer is to manage labs for Intel in California. Lab management requires a solid knowledge of IT skills and infrastructure operations. We deploy several applications and services in our lab and configure systems. We have a small infrastructure team and encounter numerous issues in our labs due to staff shortages. These include automation challenges, configuring systems, and shipping products to customers. Fortunately, I have the skills to resolve problems that arise, and I have the trust of management. I decided to upskill myself with Simplilearn to expand my talents and apply my newfound knowledge to solve actual workplace problems. I come from a hardware background and although I have software industry exposure to disciplines like programming and web design, I lacked some of the skills my colleagues possessed.

Staying Current with Continuous Learning

I have a bachelor’s degree in electrical and computer engineering from Texas A&M University and have worked with Intel for the past five years. During this time, I realized the importance of DevOps infrastructure and staying up-to-date with the latest trends in the industry.

Simplilearn offers the Post Graduate Program in DevOps. I looked at different programs with other universities, but I wanted a course that would provide ample knowledge and the badge of a reputed university. I was also looking for an online course as I was not ready for a traditional study format. So, when I saw Simplilearn’s course, I liked the curriculum and the course.

The curriculum of Simplilearn’s  Post Graduate Program in DevOps has been created to meet the industry standards. It was very elaborate and included all the skills I was looking for. Our instructors were industry experts, which was an added advantage. Their expertise was quite helpful for all the students to learn about the different challenges in the cloud computing industry.

As documented by Ravi Kumar Chintalapudi 

I am Ravi Kumar Chintalapudi from Andhra Pradesh. I began my start-up in 2018, where our company served different organizations through freelancing. But our services were limited due to a lack of knowledge concerning DevOps, for which we received numerous clients. The issue encouraged me to learn, which I could further apply in business. The benefits were obvious with the increment of the company. Some additional benefits included my knowledge of DevOps, its market value and the ability to apply my skills in business expansion. 

The Journey 

I am a Doctorate in Science from the University of Hyderabad. I find myself very passionate about computing and the IT sector. Satisfying my passion, I started my start-up, Gratian Technology, which serves clients from different nationalities. The company is mainly concerned with providing DevOps automation, cloud consultancy and solution to IT services.

The Challenge 

The company dealt with end-to-end automation using DevOps. However, there was a lack of knowledge and skills, which decreased the efficiency of results. Furthermore, I needed to learn not to compromise my passion and the quality of service offered by the start-up. I needed detailed insight into the technology with new and emerging technologies in the domain. 

Simplilearn Solution

I came across different platforms providing the courses. However, Simplilearn was the best fit for me. Since I saw the curriculum to be comprehensive enough and worthy of the charged fees. 

Fortunately, my decision was correct. The blended learning approach provided me to work at my start-up and learn at my pace. It decreased the burden of fitting new things into an already busy schedule. I also gained information on the relevance of DevOps and numerous other relevant details, which certainly paid off through the success I achieved.
