Vyshnav is an energetic and enthusiastic Associate Engineer at CloudifyOps. Having joined us as a fresher, he has proven his mettle over the years, with his passion for learning and upskilling in Cloud and DevOps. Read on to hear Vyshnav’s thoughts on life at CloudifyOps.
I have a B.Sc. degree in Physics. I started my career with CloudifyOps.
My cousin referred me for a role in CloudifyOps. He knew our CEO Vaitheeswaran and felt that it would be a good opportunity for me.
I love what I am doing. I am still learning about the field and like everything so far.
I would like to learn more about Cloud Security and obtain a certification.
I had a gap between my graduation and getting a job. I was keen to make up for the time I lost and was focused on learning as much as I could and working on different projects. I was given a chance by the CloudifyOps leaders when other companies were rejecting me based on the gap in my resume. My strong motivation was to give this team my very best efforts in return for their confidence in me.
For the first two months, I was shadowing senior engineers. From there, I moved to projects on the AWS GovCloud, GitLab, and Jenkins, among others. I have gained the confidence to be a client point of contact and have handled many client interactions.
I had immense opportunities to develop my communication and presentation skills. I have handled multiple demos for our clients, which has boosted my self-confidence. We do not get such opportunities in other large organizations for a person with my level of experience.
I have built my knowledge of AWS through various resources. I have 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 in real time while working on many projects.
I worked on a project, with support from my manager, for an 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.
The party we had in our previous office in March 2021 right before we moved to our current office premises was the most fun for me. I was new to the team and this helped me know others in the team better.
Always keep your work clean. Do not push cleaning up to the end of your priority list. The chances of making errors or missing out on something are higher if you do so.
I like how anyone in CloudifyOps can contribute to the learning/training initiatives at CloudifyOps. Someone new to Cloud and DevOps might need 2-3 months to learn the basics from the self-training resources provided in CloudifyOps. With the right aptitude, it can give them knowledge worth a year’s training that they may receive in another organization.
I recently became a Certified Kubernetes Administrator (CKA) and completed my AWS DevOps Professional certification.
Cool, comfort, opportunity (if you take those opportunities and grow).
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 our CEO Vaitheeswaran and CTO/Founder Sushanth were involved in resolving it. There was no blame game and the sole objective was to get things back on track.
The team here is good. Everyone is open to collaborating. The leadership team understands the workload each of us has. They make us feel comfortable and that boosts our productivity. I miss some of the initial team members who were very helpful to me.
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.
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.
