About Surendra Orupalli

Hi, I\'m Surendra. I always loved working at the intersection of technology and business. My enthusiasm for cutting-edge technologies led me to delve into the world of Python, where I take daily bites of knowledge. Do let me know if you have an interesting project that we can work on or improve.Well, my background - I have 16 years of experience in operations, marketing and engineering functions; and programming too. After graduating from Andhra University College of Engineering (2003-07), I worked for 4 years (2007-11) with a diversified manufacturing group, the JSW Group, in the areas of technology selection and process engineering.Post my MBA from IIM Bangalore (2011-13), I\'ve been working in the information technology industry for the past 12 years (2013-25). I work with enterprises in adapting the right processes and technologies for improved business outcomes. Highly adaptable and a continuous learner, I challenge myself through MOOCs on Coursera, Edx and Udemy. When it comes to day to day work - I make specific plans and I execute those without leaving anything on the table. Also, I make it a point to see that everyone in the team is involved and recognized for their contributions.Specialities: Business Operations, Supply Chain, Business Intelligence and Team Management
