Pros of the quarter

Each quarter, we feature a few MuleSoft Certified Developers and architects who share their MuleSoft journey and offer tips for anyone looking to become MuleSoft Certified. 

Rutuja Gupta, MuleSoft Mentor, Sr. MuleSoft Developer at Capgemini

“When I started attending Mulesoft Meetups and was introduced to MuleSoft, I was excited to learn. Once I realized MuleSoft’s incredible potential in developing integration, it inspired me to stick with the MuleSoft ecosystem. Being MuleSoft Certified definitely indicates mastery in the specific areas of the certifications and has fueled my career in many ways.

Whereas growing into this superb MuleSoft Community, I felt that I ought to share my knowledge because I strongly believe that “commencement of knowledge and information will increase by sharing it!”. So, I started writing blogs to assist the spirited MuleSoft Community.”

Brittany Kota, MuleSoft Developer at Revelant Technologies

“As a Medical Laboratory Scientist with absolutely no IT education or experience, I was intrigued by the solutions that MuleSoft provided for bridging IT delivery gaps and integration of a wide range of useful applications.  I started the self-paced (and FREE!) course on the MuleSoft website in March this year.  Many times I had to pause and Google terms that were foreign, and slowly I built more knowledge.

I quit my job in August to study MuleSoft full-time.  I had to learn the basics of SQL, JSON, XML, JMS messaging, etc. in order to better understand what I was doing in the MuleSoft space.  I have been able to connect with excellent Muleys through LinkedIn who gave me insightful and invaluable advice.  Finally, in September I passed the certification exam!”
