As documented by Dinesh Kandasamy  

I am a computer enthusiast with studies and work experience in the same field. Holding ten years of experience, my previous role was as Security Analyst. My will to excel in my career required constant effort to find new and interesting job opportunities. It further required dedication to learning, which eventually paid off in the end. 

The Journey

I live in Toronto, Canada, and work as a security Analyst at Shared Services Canada. My studies were from RCC College of Technology in Computer networks. After gaining expertise in one’s field, upskilling is an efficient way to carry on with prior experiences and learn new things. It is accompanied by the added benefit of applying both skills, increasing one’s worth. 

The Challenge

While looking for new opportunities, I realized the need for additional and new knowledge with the capability to apply. Finding a suitable course with the best utilization of time and money is a challenging task. However, I found Simplilearn to solve educational and professional problems.

Simplilearn Solution

On searching for various e-learning platforms, the great Simplilearn reviews caught my attention and helped me choose among the many options. It was loaded with benefits which I further discovered after enrollment. The blended learning approach assisted in hassle-free learning. Moreover, they provided practical exposure, numerous tests, and projects with strict deadlines. Exposure to industry-relevant projects provided me a great help in shaping my career and helping me grow professionally by getting certified.

Simplilearn helped me make the career transition I wanted through the Cloud Architect Masters Program. I got several job offers, a 100% salary increase, and a job at Deloitte!

My Career Journey So Far

I completed my MBA from IIT Kharagpur and gained work experience from top MNCs like Infosys and Cognizant. After working for almost a decade in the IT industry, I saw a halt in my career growth. I wanted to develop new skills and upgrade with the advancing technologies in the IT industry. That’s why I took the course from Simplilearn. As a result, I currently work at Deloitte as a Senior Consultant.  

The Challenge

My primary reason for upskilling was to change my career path to Clouds and DevOps. Having worked for almost nine years in the IT industry, I realized I was doing nothing different to grow my career. My growth was stagnant, and I wanted to stand out. Therefore, I took the Cloud Architect Masters program from Simplilearn.    

The Simplilearn Solution

I chose Simplilearn for its multiple unique features that attracted me. First of all, the course provides the best instructors who teach the most complex of concepts in the simplest form. The live classes helped me build my fundamental understanding of the cloud and services Azure and AWS provided. I could easily manage my studies over the weekends because of the recorded lectures. Moreover, lab access helped me implement my knowledge and gain practical exposure. My Simplilearn feedback is great, as I also gained lifetime access to videos that are a great source of learning for any certification or job interviews.

In this constantly changing world, upskilling is important to stay ahead of the competition, and I am always focused on developing my skills. Simplilearn helped streamline my upskilling process by customizing a special course package for me!

The Journey

I have been in the IT industry for 15 years. I started my career as a Marketing Executive at Rajdhani Cables. Later I joined Wipro Infotech as a System Engineer and got promoted to Cloud Consultant. I then took the position of Solution Architect at RedHat India, followed by the position of a GSI-Partner Solution Architect at VMware India. At present, I am employed at Google as an Infrastructure Modernization Specialist. I have been working there for the last year.

The Challenge

I understand the fast pace of technological development and its impact on the IT sector. Unfortunately, I was not up-to-date with the latest technologies in the market. While working at VMware as a Solutions Architect, I had to talk to customers and visualize premium-class solutions. It was then that I realized my need for skill development. I wanted a better work opportunity which also required me to upskill.

After thoughtful consideration, I decided to learn about cloud computing and focused on DevOps. With the new-found knowledge and achieved skills, my journey toward my career goal has become easier and faster.

Simplilearn Solution

I did my research and found out what skill development I needed. However, the solution was not one but a combination of four different courses – Simplilearn’s PGP in Cloud Computing, PGP in DevOps in association with Caltech CTME, PGP in Cyber Security with modules from MIT and PGP in Full Stack Web Development in association with Caltech CTME. Simplilearn made it possible! The amazing team guided me throughout and showed me how I could take the four courses together.

The Impact

With the four courses, I quickly overcame the gap in my knowledge about technology. The knowledge and new skills increased my confidence to face and crack interviews. More importantly, I am currently applying these skills in my everyday work to provide the best of cloud architecture and DevOps infrastructure solutions to my clients.

After I decided to upskill and opted for Simplilearn’s courses, I got a job at Google and my salary increased by 35%.

A Word From Simplilearn

Simplilearn’s PGP in Cloud Computing, PGP in DevOps in association with Caltech CTME, PGP in Cyber Security with modules from MIT and PGP in Full Stack Web Development in association with Caltech CTME courses are all practical learning-focused and designed to ensure maximum skill growth.

As documented by Jorge Barboza

Well, not many people know that I am a Grammy Award winner! I got the Latin Grammy in 2007 in the Best Short Form Video Category. I was one of the producers of the video ‘Ven A Mi Casa Esta Navidad’.

Professional Journey

I’m from Venezuela, where I worked as a software developer, although I had some experience as a video editor and producer. I started off as a video editor and producer back in Venezuela, where I started my own company. Since people in Venezuela didn’t have access to good quality video content, that was a need I could fill. I did some videos in the United States, which allowed me to get a PR under the clause of being a resident with special abilities, so I moved to the United States 14 years ago in 2008 with my wife and my one son, who at the time was two years old. I had to start from scratch in terms of a career.

The first two years were hard, as no work could be found. So I realized I had to enter the IT sector. In 2011, I got my first job here in the United States as a software developer with a company. I worked there till 2015, then joined Nikki Beach Worldwide in 2015, where I worked for seven years as a web developer and later as an information technology manager. Over the years, I fell in love with what I was doing.

Last year, while working with Nikki Beach Worldwide, I started looking toward forwarding my career. I saw the whole technology sector taking a new direction, and cloud computing was at the center of it. I knew there were ample opportunities in cloud computing, so I wanted to learn this new technology to advance my career and change my domain from IT manager to cloud computing engineer. Since I didn’t have a formal education in this area, I decided to take a professional course, Simplilearn’s Cloud Computing Bootcamp with Caltech CTME.
