About

“Don’t limit yourself. Many people limit themselves to what they think they can do. You can go as far as your mind lets you. What you believe, remember, you can achieve.” Hi, I am Samikshya. And I am a versatile person and have more than 10 years of Experience working on different technologies including AWS and Azure Cloud. I am highly enthusiastic and tech savvy. I am a B.TECH Graduate in E&TC and have completed my MBA from Narsee Monjee in IT. I am AWS Certified and 6X Azure Certified and have completed my CISSP. Currently, I am working as a Security Architect in Accenture. I work mostly on Azure Active Directory, Active Directory and I am part of the Identity and Access Management Team. I have successfully delivered more than 10+ projects (as a technical leader) successfully prioritizing the client's requirements. Teamwork is the ability to work together toward a common vision. I have trained more than 100+ people on Azure Cloud which has helped them to understand the process better. I have achieved the highest CSAT during my tenures with the organizations I have worked for. I have onboarded around 350+ application as an IDAM and making it SSO compliant. I strongly believe in continuous learning to adapt to the ever-changing environment. The scope that the current macro presents, with Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning coming in, is a powerful influence for the future of Cloud Computing. I'm adept with the technological advancements in Cloud and am always on the lookout for newer developments can bring in more efficiency to my work. Above all, I advocate customer centricity and leveraging bleeding edge competitive intelligence techniques and am highly interested in mission-driven organizations. With my experience & exposure to Azure Cloud Computing, I define and believe cloud computing as a process of achieving the business goal by meeting or creating a need in the right place, at the right time and with the right context. Have something interesting to discuss? Feel free to connect with me.
