Hi All, I'm Surya. I'm from development and support background. I started my career with Visual basic and classic ASP programming and then moved to Rapid development using Power Builder tool. Then worked on .NET 1.1 through 4.5 Until 2012. With the change in software market needs, I learnt Microsoft Azure, Linux, Weblogic and WebSphere Administration and Hadoop 1.x.

Out of the new skills, I found hadoop is more interesting with the features of commodity hardware, distributed computing etc. and choose that as new career path.

Presently I'm working as Hadoop Technical Consultant @ Teradata India.

Great to have you join our community Surya, I think you've made a great
choice in a new career path. I made the leap to Hadoop and big data myself
almost 5 years ago and it's been the best move of my career. I wish you
all the best, I'm sure you'll find your peers in the community more than
helpful along the way.

I am a software engineering student at the IIT (International Institute of Technology , North-American University of Sfax,Tunisia) .

I will graduate in June 2016 (hopefully) . 

Currently , I am studying software engineering and data sciences . Through the intriductory courses , I understood how to manipulate data and extract

optimized predictions to help in making decisions . After studying the data mining course , I felt very passionate about data engineering and decided
to pursue my career as a big data software engineer .

That' s why I joined the Cloudera community to learn about Hadoop  big data using my favourite programming language : JAVA .

I like swimming , playing card games , playing soccer computer games and watching comedy films .

Hi,

I am working as a software engineer for the past 2.5 years, Basically i am .NET & SQL developer, one of our important client request for BigData solution for processing more than 100 Million CSV records, so i entered into Big data world (REALLY BIG WORLD) for past 6 months, I am still learning like student :)

I have done researching big data solution such as MongoDB (completely different platform than .NET & SQL), Google BigQuery (Excellent speed and output, easy to learn because SQL like queries, But costly). Once we are entered into BIG data world we can't able to skip the Hadoop. so i am working for past 3 months in hadoop tools (Hue, Hive, HBase, PIG, JAVA Map-Reduce etc...).

Initially i am really struggled to survive in hadoop environment (New tools including JAVA) but now i am really happy to here (community) i am learning as well as waiting for the big future too.

I am very passionate to playing chess learning form my DAD, now i am spending lots of time to play online chess in (Chess.com) apart from my job, i am not at all best i am still learning. :)
