Ritesh Nadhani

Highly motivated technologist with 15+ years of experience as individual contributor, manager, team lead, mentor, entrepreneur, and advisor. I have a demonstrated track record for successfully delivering software products ranging from standalone windows applications and enterprise class applications to large scale cloud applications while solving critical customer problems. Knowing that business success isn't a function of code quality, I take a pragmatic approach to engineering, always looking for the right balance between clean code, minimal tech debt, and speed of delivery. As a global citizen I have recruited, managed and collaborated with high performance teams with members across India, Russia, Ukraine, Ecquador, and Taiwan. As an entrepreneur, I bootstrapped two companies in the consumer media space using my free time on weekends and nights. While my endeavors were ultimately unsuccessful, they were great fun and provided invaluable lessons as I pushed them through the processes of business development, product definition, artist management, marketing, development, and recruitment.
