Started as a developer and now working as a Cloud & Compute Architect.
After completing my B.Tech in E&C, I started working as a Hub Engineer in a space organization. Following a short stint in this role, I pursued courses in .NET and secured an opportunity to work as a Software Developer. As I continued to learn on the job, I developed a keen interest in emerging technologies and transitioned to Cloud Technology. I completed cloud certifications from foundation to Solution Architect level across various providers like Azure, GCP, and Oracle. Additionally, I gained expertise in DevOps, Infrastructure as Code (IaC), Linux Administration, API Interfacing, and Container Orchestration (K8S).
With the experience and skills I acquired over time, it was a natural progression to my current role as a Senior Architect at Alstom. I am now upskilling myself in AI and ML, as these technologies are crucial for better career opportunities and adding value to the organisation, especially as Alstom rapidly adopts these advancements.
As C&C architect I work on designing and hosting the solution in Cloud
I work as a Senior Architect in the C&C department. My roles and responsibilities include designing infrastructure and services that meet business application needs on the Cloud, primarily using Azure and Oracle. I apply architecture principles such as scalability, reliability, availability, and security to host and develop applications on the Cloud. I collaborate with various stakeholders, including business and application architects, for requirement gathering and work with different teams like Networking, Security, and AD to design the best architecture that meets Alstom's standards and follows industry best practices. Additionally, I introduce and present new technologies and services to management that are beneficial and add value to the organisation.
Working on challenging projects and latest technology.
The idea of being part of challenging projects that meet business needs excites me and gives me a sense of satisfaction in my work. Staying up to date with the latest technological advancements in my field makes me feel proud. The continuous learning opportunities I encounter in my day-to-day activities motivate me to keep going. The prospect of solving business challenges and contributing to both the organisation's growth and my personal growth drives me to persist in my career. These are a few things that motivate me to do what I do.
Be passionate about what you do.
For me, being passionate about what we do provides the energy to work towards our goals and achieve our dreams. Passion fosters creativity, enabling us to develop better ideas and solutions, which in turn help solve problems. It encourages us to focus on tasks and keep going without feeling overwhelmed. Passion also drives continuous learning of new technologies and services that can simplify or better manage tasks. Additionally, it promotes collaboration, as it encourages us to work with others and share ideas, leading to a more collaborative workplace.
Successfully resolving a critical technical issue
As part of a project team implementing cutting-edge technology for the first time within the organization, I successfully resolved critical issues related to secure interfacing between different services. This resulted in on-time project delivery and a scalable, secure production environment.
