My passion for solving the hardest engineering problems ironically started by being surrounded by doctors. Hi, I am Sindhu Ramachandran, and this is my Engineers of Quest Global story.
While growing up, most of my relatives and neighbors were doctors, and I was fascinated by their approach to their profession. I’d often ask them, ‘why did you choose such a challenging field?’ and they’d answer, ‘because I want to help and do something good’.
In high school, while I was more inclined towards technology and engineering, I still wanted to be a part of something they did. My beliefs and views were further cemented when I met my husband, who is also…drumroll…a doctor. The decision to do my masters’s degree in Digital Image Computing was a turning point in my life. It was the first time I realized the immense possibilities that can be leveraged by applying software technology for the human good.
Be it in 2015, when I took on the impossible challenge of starting the Deep Learning solutions team at Quest Global with just 2 engineers, to making it possible and even winning customer projects in AI/Deep Learning. Or, in my most recent work, that assists in detecting COVID-19 from chest X-Ray images with explainable AI. Those who I grew up with, my family, teachers, and my mentors at Quest Global, along with my personal beliefs, have led me to where I am.
Today, as I lead the Artificial Intelligence Center of Excellence (CoE) in Software and Digital Practice at Quest Global, I am fortunate to have a platform to influence women and others in engineering backgrounds. I can proudly say that I develop technologies that change people’s lives across the globe – be it life sciences, automotive, or industrial and nurture a new generation of innovators and technologists who can make this world a better place.
It has come to our attention that scammers have tried to mislead people by fictitiously claiming to be employees of Quest Global or posing as authorized recruitment partners. These entities are misguiding job-seekers by promising well-placed roles with our company and asking candidates to pay for a certification course with a promise of reimbursement once they have joined. Kindly note, Quest Global conducts a formal interview process in our search for extraordinary people. We would NEVER ask candidates to pay for certifications at any stage of the recruitment process.
