About Raakesh Blokhra

Thanks for taking the time to read this. I have over 24 years of experience with technology. From a web designer to a project manager, I have seen it all, and learned a lot, which I bring with me to the table.I am a Generalist at work and my expertise includes:Software Engineering - Drupal, HTML, PHP, CSS, JS, JSON, C, MariaDB, SQLContent Creation - Technical writing, professional photographer, professional videographer, Sound engineerProject Manager - Experienced at managing offshore teams at many recent jobs, including Google.Product Manager - Experienced product owner with multiple products developed from scratch.I enjoy working for companies (small to big) with open environments where I can contribute to more than one role, this allows my employers to have a resource who can help in many areas, while it allows me to learn, grow, and enjoy the variety.In addition, I am a professional Musician (Singer-Songwriter, Guitarist, Sound Engineer). Not something I have been overly vocal about on LinkedIn, until recently, when I felt, why not? If someone is taking the time to read my bio, they are showing interest in getting to know me, so I should share everything I am passionate about. I am passionate about motorsports, I have professionally raced off-road motorcycles in rallies and raids, and still have a BMW F850GS which I ride on and off-road. I am spiritual and like to try and live consciously. I practice Vipassana Meditation, I am a Reiki Master.I am on a never ending mission to improve my time to solve Rubik's cubes, you'll probably always see me with one at home and work.

  • Nasa (Etouch Systems)
    Lead Drupal Developer
    Nasa (Etouch Systems) Sep 2012 - Feb 2013
    Fremont, Ca, Us
    Worked on an excellent project for NASA. NASA was evaluating various content management systems for nasa.gov. I represented Drupal as one of the 7 CMS as a system that will handle the large volume of content, content writers, editors and be able to support the workflows that were being used by their proprietary CMS. As a result of the robust testing, demos, and information provided by my team, the decision was taken in favor of Drupal. NASA is now using headless Drupal.It was another great experience working with NASA and eTouch. Since my father and uncle (both were scientists) worked at NASA in the 1960s, I had a fascination with the company. But I had left science in my bachelors, so didn't expect to get an opportunity to work with NASA. Let's just say, I was destined to work there, I was invited to work on a project that was involved with their web properties and the proprietary content management system they were using. It was a short project, but truly sweet. The level of professionalism among the team at eTouch was very impressive. Totally dedicated teams, smart people and very friendly environment. I would love to go back there, even if I have to move to California for it (which I wasn't open to earlier).
  • Scholastic
    Lead Php Developer | Team Lead
    Scholastic Aug 2011 - May 2012

    I got an opportunity to work with Scholastic in NYC. I was looking forward to working with such a reputed company very much. The team was phenomenal and the projects were amazing as well. To see teams operate with such high volume of employees doing totally different things, and then so beautifully integrate everything was pleasure to watch. My experience before Scholastic had been limited to smaller companies, so I was so super excited to see things being managed so well. I was able to manage my own team, and setup scrum from scratch. Got exposed to all the technology that I needed, PHP, MySQL, Drupal, HTML, CSS, JS, JQuery, Jira ... you name it. Worked with some really well respected names in the industry, got to contribute to several teams and learnt a lot in terms of technology, as well as management. I feel so fortunate to be presented with the opportunity.

  • Affiliate Radar
    Co-Founder, Developer
    Affiliate Radar Jan 2007 - Mar 2011
    Co-Founded Affiliate Radar ...One of the nicest product developed at the right time, for the right people. This started as a small application that helped my client (and later partner + great friend) to optimize his campaigns and increase his affiliate commissions to the next level. Once that was achieved, we decided to make it a product because there were many super affiliates who were flying in the blind and putting money in Google Adwords without knowing which keywords were actually converting for them. Turned out that over 1000 super affiliates became our loyal customers and used Affiliate Radar to maximize their profits. This was a very fulfilling experience, and it hurts that like all good things, it had to come to an end. I still have the code and keep it up to date just in case, if we ever decide to bring it back. But till then, it helps me run some of my campaigns and make some petty cash that I can use to fulfill my passions of photography, motor sports and music.
