As an experienced platform engineer, Chaance realized that he needed to take an extra step to keep accelerating his career.
As documented by Chaance Graves
One of my responsibilities as a Xeon platform applications engineer is to manage labs for Intel in California. Lab management requires a solid knowledge of IT skills and infrastructure operations. We deploy several applications and services in our lab and configure systems. We have a small infrastructure team and encounter numerous issues in our labs due to staff shortages. These include automation challenges, configuring systems, and shipping products to customers. Fortunately, I have the skills to resolve problems that arise, and I have the trust of management. I decided to upskill myself with Simplilearn to expand my talents and apply my newfound knowledge to solve actual workplace problems. I come from a hardware background and although I have software industry exposure to disciplines like programming and web design, I lacked some of the skills my colleagues possessed.
Staying Current with Continuous Learning
I have a bachelor’s degree in electrical and computer engineering from Texas A&M University and have worked with Intel for the past five years. During this time, I realized the importance of DevOps infrastructure and staying up-to-date with the latest trends in the industry.
Simplilearn offers the Post Graduate Program in DevOps. I looked at different programs with other universities, but I wanted a course that would provide ample knowledge and the badge of a reputed university. I was also looking for an online course as I was not ready for a traditional study format. So, when I saw Simplilearn’s course, I liked the curriculum and the course.
