Padma Ramanujam

Sr Programme Manager - Server And Cloud Operations
Anand

Summary

With over 20 years of diverse professional experience, I have developed a unique skill set that combines roles across different domains. My most recent seven years have been dedicated to server and cloud administration. During this time, I've managed production server environments, both on-premise and in the cloud, ensuring their seamless operation and high availability. I possess good problem-solving and quick-thinking abilities, and I am a fast-paced self-learner. Over the past few years, the emergence of DevOps has instilled an interest in Infrastructure-As-Code and Configuration Management in me. I am working on learning Docker, Kubernetes, and Ansible. I constantly work towards automating daily processes and am committed to maintaining robust, secure, and efficient IT infrastructures. Besides being technical, having had experience in customer-facing roles, I am comfortable running training, demos, and presentations. That makes me a resourceful candidate who can double up in support roles as well. Looking ahead, I am enthusiastic about leveraging my experience to drive innovation, optimize IT processes, and contribute to the success of my future organizations.

I enjoy a variety of activities such as cooking, reading, watching tele-series, and listening to music. There are always some songs playing in my ears, keeping me engrossed in whatever I am doing. I have undergone five years of training in Indian Classical Music (Hindustani and Carnatic). However, my greatest passion is fitness. I enjoy swimming, badminton, yoga, brisk walking, and cycling. I am an environmentalist at heart and do my bit by saying no to plastic, saving water, and conserving electricity as much as possible.
