As a product manager, I worked with Venkatesh a year ago as the lead UI/UX expert for a product called Hatching Hope, which is a multi-tenant SaaS platform for livestock and poultry customers of Cargill. Throughout the product development cycle, I found that he was fully dedicated to the customers' needs and requirements and had a knack to have a detailed understanding their problems in detail, which helped us to come up with a market fit product/platform, designs and prototypes.
He is very quick and adept in his UI/UX skills including the latest and emerging design tools and also has a knack for picking up new development skills like HTML, CSS, Java, Python etc.
I have found him to be a perfect fit for agile and ever-evolving product development as he loves to learn and incorporate customer feedback into product designs/concepts.
I hope he maintains his agility, determination, ability to learn new technologies and most importantly his customer focus in the future.
