Bhawesh Kumar
Greetings! My name is Bhawesh Kumar, and I am a seasoned Senior Principal Architect with over 22 years of rich experience in the IT industry. Born and raised in India, a land known by many names—Bharat (भारत), Aryavrat (आर्याव्रत), and Hindustan (हिंदुस्तान)—I am deeply rooted in my heritage while thriving in a global, ever-evolving technological landscape.
I began my career in 1998 as a network and computer hardware engineer, later transitioning to software development in 2000 with a focus on Microsoft technologies. For over a decade, I honed my skills exclusively in the Microsoft ecosystem before embracing the dynamic world of open-source technologies in 2012. This transition allowed me to broaden my expertise, providing me with a unique perspective and the ability to leverage the strengths of both technology domains.
Over the years, I have worn many hats—Software Architect, Solution Designer, Project Manager, Consultant, and Software Engineer—adapting to the unique demands of each project. I have had the privilege of collaborating with a diverse array of organizations, from startups to global enterprises, including Morningstar Investment Management, SPR Consulting, Cognizant Technologies, Fiserv, Sumitomo Wiring Systems, and Symantec, among others. These experiences have allowed me to work across industries and geographies, including the United States, Japan, India, and Europe.
