Quick glance of career path

I started my career with Active Directory and Windows Platform support. From 2012 we started supporting Cloud services (VMs and Azure AD). Thus got experience on Azure AD, Azure, AAD Connect, ADFS and WAP Proxy, as well as got some hand on over o365. In 2016 at beginning of the year got promotion to SME (Subject Matter Expert) role for all the Windows, Azure, VMware and Active Directory teams.

I have a very strong hand on Automation and I possess knowledge of many automation technological languages. I have used this knowledge to design customized tools with their GUI front ends which enable the teams to take advantage of automation without getting the complexity of learning scripting languages. This makes team more productive and they can absorb more work, thereby reduce delivery costs.

I have quality of nurturing relation and building wonderful repo with customer counterparts, thereby reducing escalations near to zero.
