Profile - Vyshnav

• What has your experience been with our company culture?

I appreciate the fact that they didn’t expect me to have a specific degree. If you have the skill set, you have the opportunity to work on interesting projects here. I remember the first day I reported to the office, there was an issue and Vaithee and Sushanth were involved in resolving it. There was no blame game and the sole objective was to get things back on track.

• What are some things you’ve noticed about our leadership team?

The leads here are approachable, open to any questions you may have, and are ready to listen to your ideas and suggestions. They do not differentiate between freshers and experienced people.

• What have been your biggest accomplishments on our team?

I worked on a project, with support from my manager, for a HR software provider involving Ansible, Terraform and Jenkins. The solution we recommended to them was accepted. My happy moment was when the client gave us good feedback and how the solution is working well for them.

• Who are some of your biggest inspirations within the company?

Kumaradas, Director – Technology, who is a friend more than just being my manager, and Sushanth Bellapu, Founder & Chief Technology Officer, who is a really cool dude and is so responsive whenever we reach out to him.

• What kinds of resources have you taken advantage of while on our team?

I built my knowledge on AWS through various resources. I contributed to many proofs of concept and I like the freedom we have to create and build it on my own. I also took advantage of learning real-time while working on many projects.

• What are three words you would use to describe CloudifyOps?

Cool, comfort, opportunity

• How have you grown professionally while on our team?

For the first two months, I was shadowing senior engineers. From there, I moved to projects on government cloud, GitLab, and Jenkins, among others. I have gained confidence to be a client point of contact and have handled many client interactions.

• When you have 30 minutes of free-time, how do you pass the time?

Cafeteria for a cup of tea or playing foosball!

• What do you love most about the Cloud and DevOps field?

I love what I am doing. I am still learning about the field and like everything so far.

• How do you define success?

Success to me is progress made from where I was yesterday to where I go today.

• What advice would you give to someone who wants to enter this field?

Mastering the fundamentals or the basics of any tool or technology is extremely important. As you build your knowledge to advance levels, the fundamentals will always help you. If you don’t build a strong foundation, you will stay behind while others move ahead.

• What is the one thing you learned in the last month related to your work?

Always keep your work clean. Do not push cleaning up to the end of your priority list. Chances of making errors or missing out on something are higher, if you do so.

• What has been your favorite project so far?

The project for a HR software provider

• What is on your wish list for the next 10 years with CloudifyOps?

In the next 10 years, I definitely want to see CloudifyOps offices opened in different countries and become a successful brand.
