Mahesh Thummati — CEO

After graduating college in 2011, I jumped straight into the world of technology as a mainframe developer. At that time, conquering COBOL and JCL felt like reaching the mountaintop. But in the industry that’s so agile, I quickly realized I craved something more dynamic and exciting. So, I embarked on a journey of exploration, diving into the buzzwords of the time - Big Data, Hadoop, and Analytics. Let me tell you, it was a significant shift coming from a mainframe background. I found myself learning Java, R, Python, and Scala like my life depended on it. Luckily, platforms like Coursera were there to guide me along the way! As my mainframe shell began to crack, there was no turning back. I was captivated by the endless opportunities that lay ahead. That's when I made my foray into the world of data engineering. Working with Spark code and crafting Hive queries kept me going for a while, but eventually, I craved something more. That's when the clouds caught my attention. Cloud computing and AWS had me completely spellbound. Witnessing the speed-to-market and cost savings that public clouds offered blew my mind. It was like building a world-class solution for the price of a lunch! But that was just the beginning. The realm of real-time streaming and cutting-edge data architectures fascinated me. The impact they had on businesses was simply awe-inspiring. Somewhere along the way, though, I felt a yearning for the fundamentals of computer science. So, I decided to take the leap and applied for the Georgia Tech OMSCS program specializing in Machine Learning. Best decision ever! Now, after immersing myself in all things technical, I've shifted my focus to solving real business problems with the right technical solutions. That's my true passion. Even after all these years, one thing has remained the same - my insatiable curiosity and relentless desire to explore uncharted territories. I am excited to continue my journey, ready to take on new challenges, and make a meaningful impact. Let's connect and join me on this exciting adventure!
