  1. CLOUD

    My journey with cloud started with Azure during SharePoint 2013 days when there was a need to host a custom API in cloud. From then on, it was continuous learning in Azure world from VMs to Web Apps to Azure Information Protection to Cognitive APIs.

    Azure:

    Since the experience I was acquiring from work on cloud was limited, I started my certification journey & I was able to learn few things.
    • CosmosDB, SQL DB, Gateways
    • IoT & digital Twins
    • AKS, ACR, Azure Web Apps with Docker
    • Logic Apps & Azure functions
    • Event Hubs, Grids
    • Administration, Virtual Machines, Scale Sets
    • Azure Machine Learning, Log Analytics, Azure Monitoring, Load Balancer
    • Networking concepts like VNET, Subnets, DNS, NSG

    AWS:

    • EC2 instances setup
    • Route 53 & Load Balancers
    • Seting up Docker hosts
    • SageMaker, AWS Rekognition & TensorFlow

    Google Cloud:

    Off late I started looking into Kubernetes services of google & I have successfully implemented a project which uses below:
    • Google Identity Management
    • Google Firebase
    • Google FireStore
    • Google Functions
    The best learning I did that covers all cloud platforms is Terraform.
    • I like ARM templates but Terraform is dope :-)
  2. WEB DESIGN & FRONT-END

    Since I started as a Web Designer after my graduation, even if I am doing other workw, I still am connected to design. I have good knowledge of HTML, CSS, JQuery, JavaScript, ReactJS, AngularJS, Responsive Design, Tailwind, Bootstrap.

    I also have expertise in fine tuning sites for PWA validation, integration of various APIs, OAuth frameworks, Service Workers in front end development. You can throw in Windows Forms UI design as well.

    I am good at UI in general & the UX portion mostly comes from the clients.

    For me, Tailwind has revolutionized my approach towards Responsive web Design.

  3. BACK-END

    ASP.NET with C# was my main forte. Apart from it PHP during my initial days. Now a days it is mostly NodeJS, NextJS, Python with Flask modules. Most of my backend work was done in SharePoint which again uses ASP.NET C# for server side coding. I do have little exposure to Java Spring boot which I used to develop API layer for one project.

  4. DEVELOPMENT, INTEGRATIONS & AUTOMATIONS

    I am heavily involved in development of automation scripts (mostly using PowerShell) & worked on customized Windows Forms based solutions. Most of the developments are w.r.t time saving & automation.

    I did many integrations using Web Services, WCF, REST APIs, SignalR. Used a bit of Dell Bhoomi, MS BizTalk & JitterBit middle layers.

    Worked on RPA solutions & most of my work was using MS Power Automate Desktop with custom PowerShells.

    I can do bash as well.

  5. ANALYTICS

    I have working knowledge on Informatica & mostly worked on SSRS, SSIS, DTS packages. Within SharePoint it was Performance Point. Off late, I am completly into Power BI right from development, modeling, deployment, monitoring.

  4. Tech Specialist

    Tech Mahindra

    This was hardcore SharePoint. Though there were places where we could have skipped using SP, we couldn't due to client. There were many fun & serious apps. Main one was digitization of entire client's paperwork to online inside SharePoint application. The fun projects implementing Time Tracker system in sharepoint with Swipt system data & Tender system which was handling FIFA 2022 stadium constructions & many more. Challenging one was to develop a realtime application & then convert into an easily consumable framework across Web & Windows applications. Another feather was framework (abstraction layer) development inside SharePoint which integrated with Tivoli AD & Web Seal.

    Below are some of the key takeaways:

    • Application Architecture Design
    • SharePoint Development & Integrations
    • SharePoint Administration
    • Customized SharePoint Grid development.
    • Complete SP Branding
    • Realtime application architecture & development - SignalR
    • Creating no down-time framework for Oracle apps.
    • PowerShell Scripts
    • SharePoint Farm maintenance tool & SCOM

    • Complete SP Branding
    • Integrations with SAP & SSIS
    • Setting up SP in Cloud (AWS)
    • PowerShell Scripts
  6. Technology Analyst

    Infosys Technologies

    This was my school in a way. Started off with Asp.Net app based on SQL Server & then quickly moved to SharePoint & it was hell of a ride. Right from setting up SP in the office in Farm configuration, installing SQL to development, integration & deployment. I had to be awake many nights. Thanks to my family for the support during this learning curve. There were many client specific tools with which I had to integrate and then use some of their tools to develop too. At the end after all the effort, I came out as a better IT guy since here you get to follow process to the core.

    Below are some of the key takeaways:

    • SharePoint 2010
    • Timerjobs, Features, Workflows & many more SP features.
    • SharePoint Administration, Installation & Farm setup.
    • PowerShell
    • JQuery & Complete SP Branding
    • Integrations with Octopus & Source Depot
    • WIX learning & Development
    • ASP.NET with Infragistics for Ticket monitoring
  7. Analyst Programmer

    Syntel India Ltd (now CGI)

    This was my first so called MNC role. Had to work a lot initially since my starting position was on a integration module which was a customized framework developed on top of .NET. It had its own IDE & coding methodologies. Team was like 250+ & so it was fun w.r.t learning & interactions. During my end of my tenure here, I mostly worked on Data, office reports automation with Windows Forms. Throw in some maintenance of already developed Asp.Net application. But toughest part was migrating MS Access Queries to SQL 2005 queries. I created lots of DTS packages but at the end had to convert them to SSIS packages. (good thing that SSIS had option to execute DTS packages. It reduced lot of effort)

    Below are some of the key takeaways:

    • HAF Framework
    • ASP.NET, Windows Forms
    • Microsoft Access DB, Microsoft SQL Server
    • DTS Packages & SSIS
    • Office Automation
    • Integrations & Testing
    • Business Objects & SSRS Reports
  8. Software Engineer

    Threshold Software Solutions

    This was my first job & it was learning all day. Glad that I worked here since it has exposed me to lots of areas. This was the job that made me a full stack developer but not limiting my work to a particular area like front-end, back-end, admin or network. Most of my projects done here were Shopping carts based on Php & MySQL. Every one of them had customized back-end Admin's Content Management System as well. Since I was a fresher, I wasn't given the final payments CRUD operation part as it was handled by seniors. (I always wanted to know what they were doing :-))

    Below are some of the key takeaways:

    • Graphic Designing
    • Web Designing
    • PHP + MySQL with WAMP & LAMP
    • ASP.NET & Windows Forms
    • Microsoft SQL Server
    • JavaScript & Ajax programming
