My name is Kiran Joy and I am a Senior consultant at Avanade. Currently, I am part of a REST API integration team and help different front-end teams integrate with a variety of backend systems working primary on.Net Web API. At work, I like to innovate on ELK (Elastic Logstash Kibana) stack with the aim of making debugging issues in development environments a bit less painfull. Before Avanade, I was a Sitecore developer for a digital agency.
Outside work my biggest technology passion is IOT (excluding the data analytics part). I am currently working on an Automated sprinkler system (painfully learning the fact that prototyping is easy and implementing it in a real environment is hard) at home using ESP2866, MQTT and home assistant.
Outside technology, I do enjoy woodworking, a game of soccer or cricket or go camping or 4Wding if I can negotiate time with my 18-month daughter (so far it is pretty one-sided as she always gets what she wants).

In 2020, my whole world blew up and on my journey to learn to love myself and to overcome burnout I found the practice of hypnosis which would change my life forever! It became so instrumental in my own life to discover what my version of conscious and intentional living could look and feel like. It empowered me to find confidence in my pursuit of creative entrepreneurship. Trusting and reprogramming my subconscious mind has also invited opportunity for me to disrupt perfectionism and deepen into my spiritual practice.

I now work with Conscious and Creative Leaders and Entrepreneurs, and Curious Individuals to unlock potential, envision new possibilities for their work and life, connect to their intuition, understand their unique abilities, and strengthen their mind-intuition-body connection to take authentic action.

I love speaking about disrupting perfectionism through conscious and intentional living, rewiring the subconscious mind, embracing creative entrepreneurship, and designing self-care practices to guide and inspire folks to show up more authentically in their work and lives.
