Rakesh Das is a Vice President | Head of Analytics at State Street Global Markets at State Street Global Markets. He possess expertise in problem solving, financial modeling, corporate finance, asset management, derivatives and 14 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "Rakesh has all the qualities of a engineer cum researcher; looking into a problem step by step, implementing stage-wise and debug any errors and solve incompatibilities. These are the requisites for successfully completing a real time project. Their project was development of a robotic arms using different pieces picked up from different sources (like stepper motors, pulleys, bamboo strips) for picking up a ball from a platform using microprocessor, PC and a webcam. Image processing software of matlab was used for processing the image captured by the webcam and calculations for coordinates of the ball and number of steps to be moved for two pulleys were done in matlab. Fabricating a robot using ready made materials available in the markets is not very difficult but making a robot using bamboo strips, pulleys and limited support of workshop facilities was a challenging task. The way their group did was commendable." and "Rakesh Das has been an outstanding student in two of my first-year MBA finance classes this year here at Boston College: Financial Management, our core MBA class in finance, and Corporate Finance, a higher-level elective. He shows outstanding problem-solving and analytical ability, and he has been an articulate and cogent contributor to class discussions. I recommend Rakesh highly. Robert A. Taggart"
