About

I am a technology enthusiast with a drive to constantly learn new technologies and tools. I come with a unique combination of strong technical knowledge and sales skills. My strength is in learning new solutions and introducing the same to clients to help them succeed at their tasks. I have provided solutions for several industries including aviation, automotive, heavy machinery, and even government organizations. Being passionate about technology made me explore more on software development and the tools required to fasten the development cycle. The understanding helped me to learn specific tools like GitHub, Jenkins, Docker, Kubernetes, and a few more. I describe myself as a constant learner, self-starter, and rational thinker. I am a people person and accept each one for what they are. I am a person who believes anyone can deliver the unexpected but should have the right attitude. As part of my career, I had the opportunity to work with many talented people, have managed teams, and collaborated with cross-functional teams within the country and outside. I am always open to learn new things and connect with people where I can add value, so don't hesitate to reach out at nel.rajan@gmail.com
