Ritu M. is a Software Engineer at Red Hat at Red Hat. Colleagues describe her as "I had the privilege to work with Ritu on the same project team at Iowa State University for over a year. We worked together on a couple Java (Springboot) web applications and several system integrations as part of a University wide project implementing Workday ERP software. Ritu's eye for detail and software development skill were immediately apparent. The Java web application project we worked on together was assigned to our team with limited detail on how exactly the application would be used. Ritu presented our team with a database structure design that would allow the application to be highly flexible to changing requirements without having to modify the code in the future. She did an excellent job of explaining why this structure would be the best fit for the application. Months later we thanked Ritu several times when her forethought paid off and we didn't need to make major code changes in order to respond to the changing project requirements. Ritu also learns new development languages and frameworks exceptionally quick and thoroughly. When we began working together on our Java project I had the impression that she had been using Java Springboot for years but was surprised to learn she had only just started learning it. Ritu is refreshingly thorough and possess great skill in understanding the core principles of software development enabling her to be a valuable resource with any technology. Ritu also demonstrates great ability to understand business processes and adapt technology to solve business problems. During our Workday project Ritu was responsible for coordinating and developing integrations for several complicated University business areas. She always demonstrated a deep knowledge of the existing legacy systems and how the newly developed Workday integration worked to allow minimal change to departmental staff and allow critical business systems to function without disruption. Overall Ritu is a valuable asset to any organization. Her skill, knowledge, and technical ability never fail to impress and her humor and friendliness help her to fit into any team.", "Simply stated, Ritu is an invaluable collaborator and teammate. Ritu is an adept developer, with technical skills and acumen matched with a strong capacity to understand business problems. During the two years we worked together, Ritu consistently went the extra mile to evaluate the greater business need, implementing tangible, operational, and refined Workday Finance and Human Capital Management integrations that were able to withstand changing requirements. Ritu writes brilliant documentation, readily shares knowledge and insights, and is always happy to help solve difficult issues. What I appreciate the most is how I could rely on Ritu to challenge me and elevate the overall quality of the work we accomplished together and with the greater team. As a teammate or technical leader, Ritu earns my highest recommendation.", and "Ritu is an ever maturing developer/leader with a hunger for continual learning. Unafraid to tackle any problem, she will volunteer for any job that will benefit the organization. She strives to learn the “whys” and “hows” behind a process or problem and seeks to explain to others on her team so they can walk with her to the solution. Her outlook on problems often lead to innovative solutions. In just a short amount of time, she gained expertise in a wide variety of things, spanning programming languages, different technologies and software development methodologies. I would recommend Ritu on any team - as a developer, business tester, or Scrum Master."
