I have over 8 years of experience, contributing to individual contributor, Project Management, Mentoring, Testing and Development. For the current client, I contribute on Selenium Webdriver on top of EC2 on amazon clouds. I also write programs and scripts based on Java, Perl, Python etc
The Decisions That Matter
Shift to individual contributor from Project Managerial role: This jump I wanted to do was for the reason that I want to emerge as a Leader, who knows technology hands on. I never wanted to be happy about the role I was handling but I wanted to be Happy on what actually I knows about it.
Degrees That Matter:
Cloudera Certification will be a good push if you are on Cloud and Hadoop
