Kaarthik Viswanathan

Kaarthik Viswanathan started my career as a Software Engineer at Infosys Technologies Ltd in Bangalore. I got an opportunity to travel to the US and work there for a couple of years for a Reputed US bank where I was exposed to the world of agility. I got married in the year 2010 and came back to settle in India. I got an opportunity to work for the same US bank as a process expert in the domain. The org wide implementation of Agile paved way for my introduction to Agile and Scrum in specific. Very soon, I realized the importance of the methodology and the way it exposed shortcomings really interested me. I became a certified scrum master in 2012. Became a member of the core group for the entire organization and start to share and absorb best practices along with the other folks. The 2014 Agile India event gave a great opportunity to rub shoulders with some of the most agile people in the world and the some of the brains behind Agile implementations like Diana Larsen and Martin Fowler. By 2015 I had the exposure and expertise to guide and train other folks and teams on the process and started showcasing my expertise by successful agile implementations Being a domain expert in my domain, I attained the CSPO certification as the line of business got acquired by another industry leader. With the expertise in process and the best practices, I've been able to influence a lot of teams in a positive manner to take to Agile as a practice and way of life rather than a methodology.
