First Year as a vExpert: How It Improved My Career

As I look back on my initial year as a vExpert, it’s clear that this experience has been a game-changer in both my professional and personal life. The highlight of this adventure was undeniably my attendance at VMware Explore 2023 Las Vegas, an opportunity made possible by being recognized as a blogger in the VMware community. Continuous development and learning, as well as the support of my employer, made it probably the best year of my professional career so far.

Securing a blogger pass for VMware Explore 2023 and Kyndryl’s support has fulfilled a long-standing dream of trip to the United States, specifically to the vibrant city of Las Vegas for this significant event. First time as a blogger on VMware Explore, I have described my every day from the event, covering the latest news and improvements from VMware. The experience was a mix of networking, learning, and immersion in the latest innovations, providing me with invaluable insights that I eagerly share.


Career at Kyndryl

In my role as a Senior IT Engineer at Kyndryl, the positive impact of my vExpert status is visible. Colleagues consistently provide positive feedback, and my manager strongly supports my activities within the vExpert program. Within the Kyndryl, I’ve become a role model, admired for my commitment to VMware community. I’ve participated in a Kyndryl internal podcast, sharing my journey to Las Vegas and insights into the vExpert program. The podcast covered the details of becoming a vExpert and the various benefits that come with this prestigious title.

One of the most rewarding aspects of the past year has been my continuous pursuit of knowledge and skills development. Through dedication and a thirst for learning, I’ve earned certifications such as VCP – VMware Cloud 2023, VCAP-DCV Deploy 2023, and GCP Associate Cloud Engineer. These certifications not only enhance my knowledge but also solidify my position as a valuable engineer within the organization.

In conclusion, my first year as a vExpert has been a milestone in my career, and I eagerly anticipate the opportunities and challenges that 2024 will bring. This journey is not just about individual success but also about giving back to the community and fostering a culture of continuous improvement in the ever-evolving landscape of technology.
