WHAT
OTHERS SAY

"

Called Sri one of the best directors, engineers, and DBAs he's worked with. System designs are end-to-end the right level of completeness — and his aggressiveness is "pure virtue in a startup."

Rich Rein
LinkedIn: "Making the Impossible Possible"
"

One of those rare gems — a supremely good individual software engineer in his own right, and an outstanding manager and leader. Any problem, anywhere — Srinivas will solve it.

Philip Smith
SaaS Consultant, senior to Sri at Habeas
"

Witnessed Sri build a productive engineering team, re-architect a hastily built codebase, and establish solid processes. A consummate mix of vision and pragmatism.

Michael Mills
VP, Oracle — Return Path acquisition
"

'Highly recommended' is not a strong enough phrase. Called him a role model — noted the ability to handpick and grow a high quality technical team from scratch.
