Hard work pays off

When you put effort into training and certification planning, it pays off. I’m proud to have consistently put in the time — sometimes outside of normal business hours — to achieve my learning goals. Cloud technology is continuously evolving, so it's essential to stay up to date with the latest developments and consider pursuing advanced certifications or renewing existing ones.

 

My favorite part of my new role

As a cloud architect, I have been involved in designing solutions to implement continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines using Azure DevOps for better business outcomes for customers and meeting their requirements. This valuable experience is helping me grow my Azure skillset as we grow our cloud business at Kyndryl and deliver new and innovative solutions for our customers.

New skills prepared me for a new role

When I started my certification journey, I was overwhelmed with the support from Kyndryl’s learning team and the many training opportunities available to me. I recently joined the cloud container team at Kyndryl, and while it can be challenging at times, it encourages me to continue improving and developing new skills.  

 

Practice (and planning) makes perfect

As early as possible, check your knowledge gaps and pinpoint your goals — then you can prepare learning plans accordingly. Once you organize all the required resources for a certification, become familiar with the syllabus and exam guide. If you find yourself stuck on complex concepts, take practice tests and read associated whitepapers or blogs to discover real use cases. Also, always be your own best advocate and nominate yourself for upcoming trainings and learning programs.
