About Me

Hi, I’m Rajeev J (he/him), a Solution Engineer for cloud & AI.👋🏽

I graduated with a BSc in Computer Science from Loughborough University in 2022. Since then, I have gained over three years of experience in cyber security, cloud, and AI in consulting, working with a diverse range of clients to refine both my technical and soft skills.

Currently, I am a solutions engineer focusing on cloud infrastructure and AI capabilities. Looking ahead, I aim to continue developing impactful technology that enhances people’s daily lives, while growing both my interpersonal and technical skills to become the best version of myself.

“Standing still is the fastest way of moving
backwards in a rapidly changing world.”

- Lauren Bacall

Don’t be afraid to keep moving forward, even if it’s just one step at a time.

I'm particularly drawn to smart home innovations and everything in Google's ecosystem.
