I thrive on difficulties and create objectives for myself to achieve on a regular basis. Challenges provide me with the incentive to achieve my goals.
I have over nineteen years of experience in the IT business, with competence in the cloud to cloud, virtual machine to cloud, and physical to cloud conversion. With different migration tools, we’ve moved over 800 servers to AWS and Azure. Having 5 AWS certifications, GCP professional certification, and Oracle Certified DBA certification.

However, I adore spending my vacations in the mountains, listening to music, and taking long drives. I’m at ease with those who are plain-minded and down to earth.
How did you get into AWS? What interested you in learning AWS?
I’ve been using AWS since 2012. It’s been seven years. I make it a habit to set higher goals for myself. It is my most important motto. I began my career as a standard PC technician, working on servers, storage, printers, and displays. I studied databases and earned the Oracle DBA Professional certification. Then, I worked as a DBA on a project involving Indian railroads. I’ve always been one step ahead of the game from the beginning of my profession. I noticed in 2010-2011 that the market was rapidly migrating to the cloud, therefore I began working on AWS in 2012.

How did you start your career as a fresher & What all you did to become a successful Professional ?
My success slogan is “be interested and study as much as you can.” I began my career as a Desktop Engineer, but as time went on, I was given opportunities to work on servers, storage, and printers. I learned how to fix displays, PCBs, and SMPS, among other things. I’m always happy to mention that I’ve had the opportunity to work on really ancient computers, such as i386, i486 machines, and dot matrix printers. In several businesses, I learned and worked on UNIX, LINUX, Windows, DOS, Novell Netware, AIX, and Solaris. I studied databases and became an Oracle DBA Professional. Curiosity drew me to the cloud-based approach to working. Beginning as a Desktop Engineer, I worked my way up to Senior Engineer, Team Leader, Group Leader, Solution Architect, Developer, Business Head, Technical Head, and Consultant. I am content since I am well-versed in a variety of technologies. “I’m developing with the IT industry trend from i386 to Cloud computing,” I like to remark.
