Uma Anand Ilango

Managing Projects IN & OUT

I started my career as IT Trainer in 2000 when recession affected United States and thereby India too. Many experienced IT people became unemployed. It became very essential for me to stand out among all others. With the full support from my parents, I worked hard to be the best tech person in my company. My postivie attitude, willingness to take new challenges gave me lot of opportunities. I started training candidates all new partner technologies such as IBM products, Oracle, Microsoft .Net etc. After four years of untiring hard work, I decided to switch into software development. As a developer, I learned more about handling projects, SDLC, project life cycle improvements, people & communications management, quality processes. I soon started handling projects independently and in small teams. Due to good technical competency, I started architectuing software projects and develop solutions.

After marrying Ilango, I moved to Berlin and also started freelancing projects as a hobby. Being a freelancer allowed me to think out-of-the-box and also enhanced my communication skills. Side by, I also developed a lot of tools, scripts for Ilango to help him with SEO. Since 2010, I am working as software consultant, providing solutions; managing projects in technologies I am strong at. I also have a virtual team who develop, test for my projects. I also have certifications to support my technical competencies. Recently PMP-PMI certified and also Lean Six-Sigma certified.
