Meet FST's Newest Team Member, Santosh Kandala


From the moment he joined the FST team in April of this year, Santosh Kandala   has been extremely busy. This is not at all surprising considering                           
the project is currently in its third out of four phases. Kandala doesn’t seem to mind the fast-paced environment, and in fact, appreciates the opportunity: “I love interacting with new people and being in situations that allow me to learn new things,” he says.

Kandala is an Oracle EBS Developer for the project, meaning he is developing programs to extract files from Oracle so other members of the team can load those files into the Workday tenant. He also works with the Technical workstream lead, Sharad Gupta, other Oracle EBS experts like Raghavendra Thatavarthi, Richard Parkins, and James Flinn, as well as Workday experts Radhakrishnan Aruneraj and Aman Chawla to analyze data for mapping. Specifically, the team is working on data mapping for suppliers, supplier addresses, emails, fixed assets, and customers.

Kandala points out that working on such a large project can sometimes be challenging. However, he says that “over the past few weeks, we've made quite a lot of progress. The functional team has been providing lots of helpful information to the technical team.”

When not at work, he loves to travel and site-see, especially if it involves long drives with his family and friends.

Kandala says he is “very excited about joining the UVA family and can’t wait to see everyone once
we’re able to work together in-person again.”
