Poorva Tumbde began her cloud journey after moving to Denmark in 2023, a transition that marked not just a change in geography, but a bold shift in purpose. With a background in Brand Marketing and Communications, she made a decisive pivot toward the need-of-the-hour industries: Cybersecurity, Cloud, and DevOps.

Driven by curiosity and determination, Poorva immersed herself in rigorous self-learning while simultaneously adapting to a new culture and environment. Stepping far beyond her comfort zone, she remained unwavering in the face of challenges, believing that growth only happens when comfort ends.

Her technical foundation was built through mastering Azure Cloud fundamentals & Cybersecurity through ReDI SChool x SANS programs and hands-on DevOps training with DMI, led by Pravin Mishra — an experience that equipped her with practical, industry-ready skills. This strong groundwork soon opened doors to her first professional role as a Cloud-DevOps Engineer with a Big 4 firm in Copenhagen.

Through real-world projects and exposure to diverse cloud solutions, Poorva gradually shaped her path toward solution design and architecture. By proactively stepping into leadership, guiding teams, and delivering measurable outcomes, she earned a reputation that now defines her in the industry — the Cloud Architecture Wizard. Her work has crossed borders, leaving a lasting mark in the global tech landscape.

Beyond her professional achievements, Poorva is also the host of her own podcast, “Sunshine & Cloud.” The sunshine reflects her personal journey, resilience, and optimism, while the cloud represents the domain she passionately works in — creating a space where stories, learning, and technology meet.

Committed to giving back, Poorva actively participates in mentorship programs for aspiring Cloud and DevOps engineers. She believes that gratitude is the most essential skill of 2030, and that true success belongs to those who are ambitious yet grounded.

Known for her technical expertise, humble nature, and sharp wit, Poorva’s journey is a testament to consistency, courage, and purpose.

She leaves us with a quote that perfectly captures her philosophy:

“It’s what you do in the dark that puts you in the light.” — Harvey Specter
