Srinivasan Raguraman’s Summary

I am an agile programmer. I have played various roles through my career. I have practiced agile methodologies in most of the projects I worked with.

I have a pragmatic approach towards software development. I give enough importance to non-functional requirements of software (extensibility, security, scalability, etc.) as like any functional requirements.

I have experience in using various open-source software and tools to our advantage in building software.

I have worked under various roles as programmer, deployment specialist, designer, and architecting solutions. And have delivered solutions from end-to-end. i.e. from design-to-implementation.
