Naveena Pathuri — Walmart - Senior Software Engineer

I am a dynamic and experienced Senior Software Engineer with over 5 years of expertise in application development within the supply chain and logistics sector at Walmart. I hold a master’s degree in information technology from Valparaiso University, where I developed a solid foundation in both technical and theoretical aspects of the field.
In addition to my experience at Walmart, I worked for a startup for one year, where I played a key role in developing a mobile application that helps students for competitive exams. This experience allowed me to hone my skills in mobile app development and gain valuable insights into the startup environment, further enriching my technical and leadership capabilities.
Throughout my career, I have demonstrated exceptional leadership skills, proficiently guiding teams to build and design customer-centric products. My technical acumen spans a wide range of competencies, including front-end technologies, object-oriented programming, database management, cloud computing, and modern software design patterns.
My approach to leadership is characterized by fostering a collaborative environment that nurtures engineers of all levels, encouraging innovation and excellence. My extensive experience in product development and technical leadership has enabled me to successfully deliver high-quality solutions that meet and exceed customer expectations.
Now, as I seek to join the Brandon Hall Group as a judge, I aim to leverage my comprehensive background and passion for technology to contribute to the evaluation and recognition of outstanding achievements in learning and development.
