Professional Journey: Continuous Learning & Innovation

I am Vignesvaren Dhamodharen, a Senior Technical Lead and Full Stack Engineer with over 14 years of progressive experience, including the last 10 years leading cloud migration, AI-driven modernization, and full-stack engineering projects in financial and retail domains. My professional journey began in Rasipuram, Tamil Nadu, where I earned my Bachelor of Engineering in Mechatronics from Kongu Engineering College (CGPA: 7.1/10).

Continuous Learning has been the foundation of my professional growth. From mechanical engineering to cloud-native architecture, I have consistently embraced emerging technologies and methodologies. This commitment to learning has enabled me to successfully migrate enterprise applications and retirement portfolio solutions to AWS, while mastering cloud-native platforms, microservices, and modern web application development using React, Next.js, Spring Boot, Java, and AWS technologies.

My expertise spans fintech (Fidelity Investments, T. Rowe Price) and e-commerce (Lowe's, The Home Depot) domains, where I have successfully streamlined workflows and optimized operational efficiency. As a technical leader, I focus on strategic people management, fostering innovation cultures, and pioneering AI adoption initiatives that deliver measurable business value.
