The Journey: From Development to Cloud Architect

As a seasoned cloud practitioner, my professional journey has spanned a wide range of roles including cloud engineer, developer, architect, and Site Reliability Engineer (SRE). With over two decades of experience, I have cultivated a rich blend of skills across diverse domains of software engineering and cloud technologies.

I began my career as a Java developer, and progressed into a J2EE architect, leading large-scale projects. I became a passionate advocate for agile methodologies, eventually becoming a scrum master.

Expertise in Microservices and Cloud-Native Solutions

One of my primary areas of focus has been helping businesses modernize their legacy applications by transitioning them to cloud-native, microservices-based architectures. Over the years, I have guided many customers through this transformation, deploying to platforms such as AWS, Azure, GCP, and orchestrating with Kubernetes.

Certifications and Achievements

Throughout my career, I have earned more than 40 industry certifications across various cloud platforms, programming languages, and methodologies. Being an author of over 20 books, I enjoy sharing my knowledge through my writings, primarily focusing on cloud computing, DevOps, and software development methodologies.

Life in the Cloud Era

The cloud computing era has transformed the IT industry. I help companies navigate the shift from traditional data centers to modern cloud environments, ensuring their infrastructure is optimized for flexibility, scalability, and cost-effectiveness.

Teaching and Training: Sharing Knowledge with the Community

Beyond my work, I am passionate about teaching and mentoring the next generation of developers and cloud professionals. I design hands-on training sessions and workshops, including content for platforms like Coursera, where I help engineers bridge the gap between legacy systems and modern cloud solutions.

Life in Bangalore and Personal Well-Being

I live in Bangalore, Bharat, with my family. Aside from professional pursuits, I rigorously practice Yoga and meditation for physical and mental well-being. These practices are essential in maintaining balance, clarity, and focus in my fast-paced career.
