Gunu Shrestha

IBM Garage

During my senior year in high school, there was one thing I was so sure of, that one day I’d become an engineer. I didn’t know what type of engineer though. When my dad gave me money to buy a PC, that's when I decided to become a computer engineer. I pursued my academic journey majoring in computer science. During my college years, I learned a lot about software development coupled with various building tools. However, I lacked hands-on industry experience. That’s when I decided to make a career move from management to IT engineering. In 2016, I started my DevOps engineering journey with UnitedHealth Group (UHG), then moved to DXC Technology/Gainwell Technology. During my tenure at these companies, I learned about Cloud Technology as well as various SaaS, PaaS and IaaS tools. Although the projects were hard at times, I embraced all the challenges and instilled valuable knowledge. I learned a lot more than what one could possibly learn from a four-year college. My passion in engineering encouraged me to do better everyday and I constantly evolve with new technology. I didn't want to stop my journey there, so I started looking for a new opportunity. That’s when I landed an opportunity with IBM Garage as DevOps engineer specialist.I enjoy automating and improving development and release processes.

After going through countless free lectures and YouTube tutorials, Michael was able to build a portfolio of side-projects that eventually allowed him to transition into the software industry.
