About Me

Hi, I'm Dnyaneshwar Sonawane

I'm currently the Vice President of Cloud at HotelKey, with over 14 years of experience in AWS and DevOps. But my journey to get here wasn't a straight path—it was filled with challenges, risks, and lessons that shaped who I am today.

My Journey: From System Admin to VP of Cloud

I started my career in 2011 as a System Admin at SmartData. Back then, I had no idea I'd one day be leading cloud architecture for a company. Life wasn't easy—I lost both my parents at a young age and worked while studying to support myself. Those early struggles taught me resilience and the value of hard work.

Career Progression:

The Turning Point

In 2016, I made what many thought was a risky decision—I left GlobalLogic, a big MNC, to join HotelKey, a startup in its early days. I had just welcomed a newborn into my family, and leaving the security of an MNC felt like jumping into the unknown.

But I saw an opportunity to dive deeper into AWS and DevOps, and I took it. That decision changed everything. Within a few years, I went from DevOps Lead to Vice President of Cloud, gaining expertise I couldn't have imagined.
