Recommendations

"I absolutely loved having Raviteja on my team. Raviteja is a one of a kind, extremely talented developer. He built some of the most complex components of our identity resolution system while showing a deep understanding of data engineering and software development. He played an active role ranging from algorithm design, system architecture, core code development, mentoring junior engineers, and client support. He's a hard worker who is eager to continuously learn and thrives on complex problems. Raviteja single handedly re-wrote a micro-service and was able to improve performance by 5×, having an immensely positive impact with existing clients."
