Suraj Subramanian is a Vice President and Distinguished Engineer, Software Engineering, Kyndryl at IBM. He possess expertise in cloud computing, websphere, scalability, service management, solution architecture and 24 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "Suraj is one of the most talented and "can do" people I have ever worked with. He has an extreme bias for action and finding innovative ways to solve hard problems. He was my lead technical go to person on driving automation and architecture for a very large cloud project. His leadership and focus was key to the project and without his drive, insistence on quality, and hands on approach we would not have accomplished what we did. I would not hesitate to hire Suraj and put him in a lead technical position. Suraj is the type of employee you don't need to follow up on - he just gets the job done, asks for help when needed, and is a great leader. He is well versed in agile development and works well in a dev/ops environment. One of the best technical leaders I've ever worked with! " and "I'll make this easy...if you can hire Suraj, do it now. In the short time I had to work with him, he stood out well above the team as the person who would put his head down and just do it. He is a lead by example person, someone who gains the respect of the team because he shows he is willing to roll up his sleeves and join them in getting things working and showing the direction we are taking can really work. He is great to work with - would have short, efficient chats with me to ensure we remained aligned, and then say "I got it", go and turn up with something working the next time we spoke. He is very strong on owning his space - he does not need hand-holding and can figure out and set direction for himself and his teams even with strategies that are sometimes very high level and not well specified. He has great technical depth but understands how to apply those skills to solve actual business problems...he does not get lost wandering around Geek City. Suraj, if you are ready to move to DFW, call me first! "
