• When I joined Kyndryl as a Partner Technical Specialist, I stepped into a high-impact role focused on empowering global enterprise clients through Oracle’s most advanced infrastructure offerings — Oracle Cloud@Customer, OCI, and Oracle Private Cloud Appliance.
• I became the go-to expert for Oracle virtualization and OS technologies across multiple platforms — from Oracle Linux to OVM , ExaCC. My role wasn't just about keeping the lights on ,it was about enabling modernization, performance optimization, and hybrid cloud readiness for some of the world's most demanding workloads.
• My day-to-day work:
• Hands-on administration and tuning of OCI infrastructure, ExaCC systems, and Private Cloud Appliances.
• Supporting mission-critical production environments and leading complex migrations across cloud and on-prem platforms.
• Collaborating with cross-functional teams — from infrastructure to app development and release management — to ensure seamless rollouts, upgrades, and performance tuning initiatives.
• Proactively identifying potential roadblocks and addressing them before they impacted SLAs — whether in design flaws, resource constraints, or client-side gaps.
• Through every engagement, I built technical trust with stakeholders while balancing tactical firefighting with long-term architectural planning. I also helped shape best practices internally, contributing to repeatable processes that supported Kyndryl’s position as a trusted partner in Oracle-based cloud transformations.
• Technologies & Platforms:
• Cloud: Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), Exadata Cloud@Customer, Oracle Private Cloud Appliance
• Operating Systems: Oracle Linux,
• Virtualization: OLVM, OVM,
• Hardware: X86, Lenovo servers
• By the time I transitioned from this role in late 2024, I had not only gained a 360° perspective of Oracle’s infrastructure stack but also played a key part in Kyndryl’s mission to support enterprise customers through hybrid cloud evolution — reliably, securely, and at scale.

• As a Solaris Administrator, I was entrusted with the stability and integrity of UNIX systems that underpinned ABN AMRO’s Swift and I-Markets platforms — both mission-critical to secure banking transactions and high-speed trading operations.
• In this role, I became part of a lean but highly specialized UNIX team responsible for:
• Deploying and maintaining Solaris environments, ensuring reliability for sensitive banking workloads.
• Managing zones with precision — creating, optimizing, and decommissioning them as business needs evolved.
• Performing critical system updates, package management, and user/group administration to maintain compliance and performance.
• Monitoring server health and reacting swiftly to any disruptions, often under tight SLAs and financial regulatory expectations.
• Delivering on-call support and working directly with internal stakeholders to minimize downtime and ensure operational continuity.
• What made this journey truly meaningful was the trust placed in our hands — behind every session we logged into, a transaction was cleared, a trade was executed, or a financial promise was fulfilled. We operated behind the scenes, but the impact of our uptime was global.
• This experience taught me to value quiet precision, disciplined execution, and teamwork in high-stakes environments. It became the foundation upon which I built my later work in Oracle Linux, OLVM, OCI, and engineered systems — always with the same mindset: to deliver infrastructure that our customers can depend on, even when no one is watching.

• My entry into the world of enterprise IT began as a UNIX Administrator Trainee, where I quickly immersed myself in the core principles of infrastructure management, server operations, and system reliability.
• During this foundational phase, I was responsible for supporting Solaris-based environments by executing essential administrative tasks and learning from real-world scenarios. My focus was on resource monitoring, performance tuning, and scaling infrastructure to support application demands. I was also involved in user account administration, setting access levels based on system roles and security protocols.
• Working closely with senior administrators, I gained hands-on experience in:
• Installing, upgrading, and patching Solaris test servers based on standardized procedures.
• Diagnosing and resolving system issues — both hardware and software — in test and pre-production environments.
• Analyzing system requirements for both physical and virtual server deployments.
• Supporting the deployment of mission-critical systems — internally and occasionally on customer sites.
• This role laid the groundwork for my career in UNIX and Oracle infrastructure. It gave me a technical foundation, discipline in following enterprise procedures, and a clear understanding of how robust infrastructure is critical to enterprise operations.

• Fresh out of college, I began my career as a BTS Engineer, quickly progressing into RF and System Engineering roles where I worked closely with engineers, field technicians, vendors, and technology partners.
• I conducted RF drive tests and optimized ALUMS CDMA/EVDO sites for Reliance Communications using MapInfo and TEMS. I also supported 4G (LTE) site acquisition surveys for Samsung across Bangalore, contributing to early LTE rollouts.
• My responsibilities extended to BTS integration and commissioning, working with Nokia Flexi Edge BTS and FIU, and performing external alarm patching. On the systems side, I provided basic UNIX support, managed file systems, tracked hardware/software inventory, and coordinated installation issues with vendors.
• Career Highlights:
• Conducted end-to-end network optimization and drive test analysis
• Supported synchronization of 2G/3G sites and new sector additions
• Liaised with vendors and cross-functional teams to streamline rollout and support operations
• This phase built the foundation for my technical career, giving me strong field-level insights, system-level exposure, and a collaborative mindset I’ve carried forward into my roles in UNIX, Linux, and enterprise cloud infrastructure.
