Ritesh analyzes the business problem behind requests, traces system and data dependencies, and translates that context into practical technical solutions\. He contributes across the full software development life cycle, including analysis, system design, development, quality assurance, deployment, and production support, with an emphasis on solutions that are testable, maintainable, reliable, and suited to everyday operational use\. Ritesh’s strengths span application development, data engineering, ETL/ELT workflows, API integrations, QA and test automation, CI/CD, DevOps, troubleshooting, performance improvement, and root\-cause analysis\. At Flex, he has taken increasing ownership of technical decisions, code quality, release readiness, and long\-term supportability while participating in design discussions, reviewing solutions, sharing knowledge, and reducing repetitive work and production risk\. Previously at IBM, Ritesh supported telecom data flows and CDR processing, validating data movement and formats for downstream operational and billing systems\. He holds a bachelor’s degree in Information Systems from Texas State University and an associate’s degree in Computer Science from Austin Community College\. ## Highlights - Contributes across the full software development life cycle at Flex, from analysis and system design through development, QA, deployment, and production support\. - Analyzes business processes and traces application, API, and data dependencies to develop practical technical solutions at Flex\. - Supports solutions that are testable, maintainable, reliable, and suitable for everyday operational use in a global manufacturing environment\. - Contributes to data engineering and ETL/ELT workflows\. - Works on API integrations, QA and test automation, CI/CD, DevOps, troubleshooting, performance improvement, and root\-cause analysis\. - Takes ownership of technical decisions, code quality, release readiness, and long\-term supportability at Flex\. - Participates in design discussions, reviews solutions, shares knowledge with teammates, and identifies improvements that reduce repetitive work and production risk\. - Supported telecom\-focused data movement at IBM across locations and processing stages leading to downstream operational and billing systems\. - Worked with Call Detail Records at IBM, including entering or validating records when required\. - Validated data sources, destinations, formats, mappings, and transfer outcomes for telecom data flows\. - Investigated data\-flow failures by tracing data from source to destination and comparing expected and actual results\. - Built experience in telecom systems, CDR processing, data integration, data validation, billing systems, production support, root\-cause analysis, and data quality\. - Earned a bachelor’s degree in Information Systems from Texas State University\. - Earned an associate’s degree in Computer Science from Austin Community College\. ## Experience - **Senior Software Engineer \- Programmer Analysis at Flex** (2023\-01\-01–present) — Working at Flex has taught me that software in a global manufacturing environment is never isolated\. A change to an application, API or data flow can influence how people work, how decisions are made and how reliably an operation runs\. That perspective has shaped how I approach my role as a Programmer Analyst\. Most of my work begins with understanding the problem behind the request\. I study the business process, trace the system and data dependencies, and turn that context into a practical technical solution\. I stay involved throughout the software development life cycle \(SDLC\), from analysis and system design to development, quality assurance \(QA\), deployment and production support\. For me, delivery isn’t complete when the code works the solution must also be testable, maintainable and reliable in everyday use\. My experience has gradually expanded beyond application development\. I’ve contributed to data engineering and ETL/ELT workflows, API integrations, QA and test automation, CI/C - **Software Engineer at IBM** (2020\-12\-01–2023\-01\-01) — At IBM, I worked with a telecom\-focused system where data moved through different locations and processing stages before reaching downstream operational and billing systems\. My responsibility was to understand what data was being transferred, where it was coming from, where it needed to go, and whether it arrived in the correct format\. I also worked with CDRs \(Call Detail Records\), including entering or validating records when required\. Working with CDR data showed me how even a small error—such as a missing value, an incorrect mapping, or an incomplete record—could affect downstream processing and billing\. When an issue occurred, I followed the data from its source to its destination, compared the expected and actual results, and helped identify where the flow had failed\. This experience strengthened my understanding of data validation, system integration, production support, and the importance of reliable data movement in large enterprise systems\. More than anything, my time at IBM t ## Education - Bachelor's Degree, Information Systems — Texas State University (2023\-01\-01–2025\-01\-01) - Associate's Degree, Computer Science — Austin Community College (2019\-01\-01–2022\-01\-01) ## FAQ ### What does Ritesh do at Flex?
