Kumar Kshitij

I am a Microsoft Certified Azure Architect with over 10 years of experience in designing, developing, and optimizing cloud solutions. My expertise spans across distributed systems, microservices, and cutting-edge technologies. Currently, I am an integral part of the Ivanti Neurons group, where my main responsibility is to develop innovative solutions that sense, discover, and remediate security threats before users are even aware of them. I leverage a diverse tech stack including .NET Core, .NET, Azure, AWS, Google Cloud, PowerShell, API, NoSQL, SQL, Angular, HTML/CSS, and more.


Previously, I contributed to the NetApp SPOTPC group, where I played a key role in developing solutions to automatically provision, deploy, manage, and optimize virtual desktops (DaaS) in any cloud environment. My work utilized technologies such as .NET Core, .NET, cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, Google Cloud), PowerShell, APIs, and more.


Before my tenure at NetApp, I was part of Siemens Industrial Automation, where I developed solutions for Industrial Edge, including deploying Siemens' Totally Integrated Automation Portal's compiler as an API inside Docker/Kubernetes.


I am passionate about solving complex problems, embracing new challenges, and I have been recognized for my contributions at every step of my career. My intellectual curiosity drives me to find strategic solutions to pressing questions, quickly pinpointing customer pain points and delivering effective solutions.
