Bio
Saikumar Mudaliar
Ratika was my teammate for two years in Nomura from 2012 to 2014, in a small development team that developed and managed a crucial project. Due to a relatively-new production support team, and the absence of a business analyst, we had several responsibilities beyond just software development. Ratika played a vital role in acting as a liaison between our team and business stakeholders in multiple regions. She was the go-to person for explaining technical challenges to the business in implementing certain new requirements, and prioritizing the team’s work. It was a popular opinion that Ratika demonstrated outstanding ownership and versatility in understanding business expectations and gathering requirements, along with her regular development work - she had great SQL and scripting skills even back then. In short, she increased the team’s productivity, and had all the qualities you would expect in a teammate, in a fast-paced environment.
