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.
