I had an amazing 1:1 mentorship session with Vandana through Topmate, and I truly appreciate the valuable career guidance she provided in DevOps and Cloud. She offered great insights on skill development and even suggested some key connections to help me move forward in the field. Her advice was practical, encouraging, and tailored to my goals. Beyond technology, what truly sets Vandana apart is her inspiring presence on LinkedIn. She shares not only technical insights but also deeply meaningful posts about raising special kids. Her authenticity and wisdom make her content a must-follow for anyone navigating both career and personal challenges. I highly recommend connecting with Vandana-whether you’re seeking mentorship, career advice, or just a dose of inspiration!
I have around 20 years of experience in Software Development. For the last few years, I have been working on cloud native and open-stack technologies. I work mainly with Product Engineering teams and guide the teams to come up with design approaches, oversee the implementation and delivery, and ensure that the teams follow software development best practices. I also have a fair experience in DevOps and work to establish a rhythm between Dev, DevOps, and Operations. I am passionate about learning new technologies and concepts, especially in cloud-native application development and data science.
The one thing I love the most about working in IT is the learning opportunities it throws across. Every day there is a new challenge, a new problem, and a new learning when you solve the problem.
On a personal front, I am a mom to my 10-year-old son. I love being around him and he keeps the child in me alive. He is the one who has made me resilient. I wear various hats for my son from being his play partner, friend, therapist, teacher, and his caregiver
