ABOUT KANIZ SIVJEE
I\'m an experienced software professional with expertise and leadership in product development, quality assurance, development operations and site reliability engineering. As a consistent contributor to team goals, I\'m recognized for my strong analytical and problem-solving skills. I\'m also an exceptional people manager with a proven record of building strong technical and committed teams. I am sought out to mentor & coach across all skill levels and focus on achieving success for groups that are under represented in the technology sector. I\'ve recently begun to promote Site Reliability Engineering practices at IBM and emphasize a culture of collaboration and effective communication. I direct my teams to automate whenever possible while still very carefully making data driven decisions. While developers at heart, my teams always prioritize customer incidents and I\'ve been critical to the successful definitions of incident response protocols. I\'ve ensured that my teams are trained on security best practices and that their main objective is to continuously learn and improve the quality of our offerings to give our customers the best quality product. Lastly, I believe in the good intentions of people. I encourage my teams to take ownership of their work, building pride in the systems and applications they manage. I understand that fostering a culture of ownership ensures that my teams stay motivated and invested in the success of any organization. If people feel valued and supported, they will perform at their best. This has made me a successful leader for the past 25 years.
