The mentoring session with Sooraj was incredibly insightful and helpful in guiding my transition to a DevOps engineer role. Sooraj provided clear and thoughtful responses that gave me a much deeper understanding of the core DevOps responsibilities, essential skills, and key technologies. His insights on prioritizing in-demand platforms and developing the right expertise were especially valuable. I'm grateful for Sooraj's guidance, as it has given me a clearer roadmap to follow as I continue building the knowledge needed to move into a DevOps role.

Sooraj gave an intelligent, knowledgeable and thoughtful impression to me. He quickly grasped what I was asking for and provided nice ideas and information backed up by his experiences. He also seems to have made quite an efficient career journey which I think architect-aspiring software developers (and probably also others) can learn from.
