Summary

Chakri Devarakonda finds it strange how he got into Quality Engineering starting out as a security guy. That being said, he can definitely see the intersection of both. Where he used to test a lot of security devices and labs, he has shifted into the quality side of things and ensuring things work properly. He is a family oriented guy, with 2 boys nearing the end of grade school. Three years ago, Chakri carried forward his quality mindset into his current role. He was intrigued by the intersection of product, services, and quality. This is his creation story at Tavant.
