Best engineer of the team in my first, second, and beginning of 3 rd year in terms of problem solving, customer satisfaction and documentation.

Mentor of new hires, and trainer for best practices for efficient work.

Development of various internal tools to automate part of the workflow of the Technical Support
Engineer.

Design and development of a large application to integrate most existing tools together and release the engineers from the repetitive administrative tasks. Was started as a personal project realized in my “free time”, and later out-performed some projects being developed by other teams, so I was granted to work 50% of my time on it. It’s a plug-in based application in C#/WPF, with a fully extensible environment and customizable UI. It has been deployed on all Rational
Client Support and is used by more than 120 users in Europe, India and Asia. The estimated time saving is more than 30 minutes per engineer using that application per day.
