About Aravind Sankar

A technophile who strongly believes in taking a customer-centered and multi-dimensional approach to problem-solving. Currently working in an agile environment setting utilizing a plethora of learning opportunities implementing cutting-edge technology solutions using AI, cloud computing, and digital automation for the Financial Services Industry. My current focus area in Fidelity is creating proof of concepts for technology modernization requiring continuous learning and application of the latest technologies incorporating design thinking, decision-making, and cross-team collaboration skills. My significant achievement in Fidelity was the automation I developed for Data Center of Excellence that saved 13 days of work per month dedicated to a specific task at the Enterprise level, which lead to remarkable cost saving for the company every year.Besides my experience in technology, I have played an interim role as a scrum master leading and helping the team prioritize and achieve continuous improvement on the deliverables. I always love to network with people, observe their anecdotes and learn from their experiences. I firmly believe in John C Maxwell's 5 levels of leadership and I constantly strive towards incorporating the qualities of a leader, thereby moving towards achieving the pinnacle of leadership.
