“Because I’ve worked for a university before, I know that the work will be challenging,” Chinthireddy says, “and I love challenging things.”
He further explains that the reason he loves a challenge like this is the opportunity to increase his technical knowledge; a project like FST provides a path to learn more.
Chinthireddy is heavily involved in the ongoing architect sessions, which he finds very helpful to understand UVA’s business processes and current systems better. The project process at UVA will be similar to what he experienced at Ohio State, though UVA’s needs will be unique. When the project transitions to development of integrations, he’ll have a clearer sense of similarities and differences.
Chinthireddy also has been working with the HR team to make enhancements and system changes to HR Workday that will make it easier to ensure the same can be set up in the financial system when it’s put in place.
An accomplished polyglot, Chinthireddy speaks Telugu (his mother tongue), Tamil, and English fluently. He understands the other South Indian languages: Kannada and Malayalam. According to Chinthireddy, he likes to make friends, which helps him pick up new languages. He also began to learn Spanish years ago when he came to the U.S., and hopes to make more Spanish-speaking friends so he can fully learn Spanish someday.
Chinthireddy enjoys many hobbies in his leisure time. He watches streaming shows and movies with his fiancée. His favorite actor is Leonardo DiCaprio and, fittingly, his favorite movie is Inception, though he also likes Shutter Island. Chinthireddy enjoys reading novels, too.
