Akhila Pamukuntla

Software Engineer

Learning and Certifications

I joined Cisco initially as a Graduate Technical Intern, which was only for the summer of 2021. Contrary to my background in Data Analysis, I joined the Infrastructure team. Unexpectedly, my internship journey continued for a year until August 2022 when I joined the team as a full-time Software Engineer. I'm a strong believer in 'Never stop learning,' especially in Technology where learning is a never-ending expectation. Being open to change has bought me to Cisco and ever since, learning has been part of my daily routine. I hold a Master's degree in Business Analytics with a concentration in Data Analytics.
