Recommendations

John Bennion, Continuous Improvement Lead at HP: "Raj joined our team as an

external consultant. Over the years I've worked with several consultants,

many of which I wouldn't rehire. But I would definitely rehire Raj. He was

valuable from day one. His skill set helped the team through a difficult

process and we came out on top. I would highly recommend Raj as a key

member of any leadership team." via LinkedIn

Beau Romero, Technology Leader for Global PLM who I reported to at HP: "Raj

was a pleasure to work with on our initiative to build dynamic,

interactive, and scalable service offering development platform. Due to an

aggressive schedule and limited resources, we had built a massive Force.com

application with virtually no documentation. Raj was invaluable as he came

in and reverse engineered the entire platform to give us a much needed

baseline requirement set. He then worked with various business stakeholders

to write use cases and user stories for future functionality. I would not

hesitate to bring Raj onto future projects, and would highly recommend him

to anyone looking for a great business analyst. He adapts quickly to new

environments, even in extreme circumstances, while ensuring that everything

is precisely documented using the latest industry best practices." via

LinkedIn

Donna Davidson, Business Analyst Manager at ADT Security Services: "I

worked with Raj for a little over a year when he worked as a Sr Business

Analyst under contract with ADT. He quickly aligned himself with the

Project team and was almost immediately recognized for his professional

strengths in both business process and technical areas. He is especially

skilled at assessing and articulating multiple approaches to an issue or

challenge based on benefits and risks and communicating at all levels of

the business. Beyond his depth of skills, he is a pleasure to work with,

generous with his vision and interest in understanding opposing

perspectives." via LinkedIn
