PUBLISHED AUTHOR

Last year, Savinder published a book titled “How do I build a career in DevOps?: A practical handbook to help you start or scale up your career in DevOps”. The book is available on Amazon worldwide for all enthusiasts looking to upgrade their skills or build a career in DevOps.

“The book has practical advice, with call-to-action for starting or scaling up a career in DevOps. It samples profiles like Developer, Operations, Testing, Sysadmin, Program/Project Manager, Infrastructure Expert and offers very precise steps on how to transition into DevOps, building on their own base strengths. It also addresses classic questions like – What’s a DevOps Engineer actually do, What’s a DevOps Engineers career path etc. Finally, it dispels some common myths and talks about “know this before committing to a DevOps career” and closes by offering tips on cracking a DevOps interview!”, states Savinder

MOST PROUD OF?

As a round up to this interview, we asked Savinder what he was most proud of? In his classic charismatic style, he answered:

1. BUILDING DEVSECOPS PRACTISE FROM SCRATCH AT ZENSAR

"Sold" DevSecOps in every conceivable way! Made mistakes, learnt a lot!

2. AUTHORING A BOOK

Most humbling experience to try and capture 20+ years of experience in <100 pages.  Even if a couple of people pivot their careers after reading this book, it’s all worth it!

3. COURAGE I HAD

2 start-ups for 5 yrs. Imbibed the Customer perspectives, in addition to the obvious technology adrenaline of a start-up

4. RAISING AN 8 YEAR OLD GIRL

More life lessons than any B-school!

We wish this enterprising organisation and leader onward and upward success!
