Ritesh Ritesh

Innovative software engineer with experience in service-based workplace applications and revenue-generating connectors for industry leaders. Currently pursuing an MBA, honing skills in Data Analysis and General Management.

I bring a robust background in the IT industry, having served as a Full Stack Software Developer at Persistent Systems. My contributions include playing a pivotal role in developing impactful workplace applications and revenue-generating connectors for renowned clients such as Amazon.

During my tenure, I released over 15 connectors for Amazon Kendra, generating substantial revenue exceeding $10 million. Implementing SHA-512 hashing significantly improved security for "Amazon Kendra," resulting in a fourfold enhancement and benefiting over one million users. My collaborative efforts with external client personnel spanned multiple time zones, involving the development and optimization of over 1500 connectors for Domo Inc., focusing on data export, fetching, and processing using REST API. Furthermore, I contributed to the development and issue resolution in "DSE Core," a key product of "Datastax Enterprise," adopted by 40 Fortune 100 companies.

Working in a high-stakes environment, alongside a diverse group of professionals from various nationalities and cultures, enabled me to constantly hone my communication skills and develop deep insights into client issues to solve them.

Now immersed in an MBA program, I am actively cultivating skills in Data Analysis and General Management. The program not only equips me with the necessary analytical tools but also provides valuable international experience. Engaging consistently on LinkedIn, my passion lies in strategic problem-solving, client collaboration, and driving technological advancements. I am enthusiastic about sharing the wealth of knowledge and experiences gathered during this MBA adventure, where I am learning to navigate and lead in diverse, global contexts. If you're interested in connecting or discussing opportunities, feel free to reach out. I'm always open to sharing insights and exploring new professional avenues
