I see the IT as problem solver for customers / products. I'm the catalyst that mixes ideas, pushes concepts and finds the best way to implement the best solution through sophisticated available technology.
I don't believe in design without purpose. I see design as a science and believe that design plays a role in solving problems that improve the consumer experience.
I carefully understand and plan for the solutions and identify opportunities. I personally take on every challange to provide solid systems for years to stay.
I enjoy rolling up my sleeves and getting into the nitty gritty of the systems, yet my goal is ultimately to be a 'thought-leader' and provide my team the best opportunity they can have.
I have high regards for team building, I work exceptionally well across all key functional areas including planning, project development, system design, implementation & testing.
I'm always looking for opportunities and aren’t afraid to take risks for the sake of making things better.
"I had the privilege of working with Ram as his customer and colleague. As his customer, Ram provided an excellent and detailed level of service that routinely exceeded my expectations. The projects were related to Java based web clients with Oracle backends and Oracle Application server as the Java engine. Ram's level of support was consistently excellent. As a colleague, Ram and I served on various technology based committees that dealt with the selection and standardization of technologies for the South Florida water management district. I was able to see first hand the value that Ram brought to the table. It was a great combination of talent and skill that when combined with his work attitude and ethic, made it a pleasure to work with him, time and time again."
