- vram22 10y agoMore info: https://www.codementor.io/vasudevram https://www.codementor.io/vasudevram I'm also available via the Codementor site for mentoring assignments - short through long term - in the areas of my skills above. Sucessfully completed multiple short and long assigments for clients via there. Also, on requirements gathering/analysis: I have the ability to understand many common business domains and their project requirements, relatively well/fast, since I have both some training and some experience doing that - across a variety of domains, e.g. some exposure to manufacturing, banking, transportation, etc. Have worked with stakeholders at the start of projects to extract / elicit / refine their requirements.
