NICE TO MEET YOU

I'm Heartin Kanikathottu

I’m the Lead Mentor and Founder of BuddyTutor.com, a platform I started in 2009 to make learning skills easy and accessible for everyone. As a seasoned Cloud and Security Architect, I’ve led transformative initiatives in key roles, including Vice President at Morgan Stanley, Principal Architect at Societe Generale, and Tech Lead & Cloud Security Architect at VMware, among others.

I’m also an internationally published author with multiple books available on platforms like Amazon and O'Reilly. Notably, one of my books was recognized as the 8th best cloud computing book of all time in 2020, reflecting the impact of my contributions to the field.

With over 15 professional certifications from providers such as Microsoft (Azure), Amazon (AWS), Oracle (Java), Pivotal (Spring), and IBM, I bring a wealth of expertise to my work. Academically, I hold dual Master’s degrees in Cloud Computing and Data Analytics.

I’m passionate about sharing knowledge and mentoring others, which is why I actively speak at global technical forums such as Tech Opportunities Fest at Platform Calgary, Google's Kubernetes Meetup, Java User Group, Elasticsearch Meetup, and the Agile India Conference.
