His ability to troubleshoot a complex micro service architecture from infrastructure details to developer code is second to none. This allows him to do a great job of championing the most simple solution to a complex problem using his savant-level understanding of every place the problem should be addressed. At Weedmaps he was the primary driver in the creation of our GitOps pattern, the refinement of our Terraform pattern, our push for unified observability, and the implementation of end-to-end tracing. He helped found the SRE team, worked directly with me to define the team roadmap, and also regularly led brown-bag sessions to share his knowledge on numerous topics from monitoring and observability to architectural patterns. Rakesh was an amazing coworker and I would consider myself lucky to work with him again.", "Rakesh is a proven technical leader who graciously balances execution and innovation in fast paced environments.
