About

I've worked at Google, Facebook. and Databricks building teams and products in the AI/ML, Search and Recommendation, leading/managing anywhere from 2 to 200 person teams. At the same time, I have a very active life outside work, so I'm a strong advocate for work-life harmony.

I love mentoring and guiding engineers, PMs, TPMs, data scientists, etc. My strength is in leadership coaching and mentoring, solving difficult organizational and inter-personal situations, interviewing for coding, ML design and, people skills, and bringing clarity to foundational theories of AL/ML and Statistics.

I've mentored 100+ and have encountered a sizable variety of situations and circumstances. At the same time, there's so much I don't know. What I do have to offer is an attentive pair of ears, empathy, and an environment for collective brainstorming.

Note: If you are looking for someone to teach you machine learning, give you regular tutoring and hands-on exercises, I am not the right person; I don't have time to prepare hands-on exercises and such.

My first call with Ritendra was actually all I needed to feel validated about my current job, and most importantly, gave me the last push I needed to look for a new opportunity. I couldn't be happier I did, after ending up at an awesome company. I was impressed by how quickly Ritendra is able to listen and get to the heart of whatever issue is on my mind from just the two calls we've had. It felt like I got a lot of value in little time

Ritendra is one of those rare leaders who care personally and can convey his truthful feedback in a way that does not offend the mentee but invites conversation and curiosity. During my time working with Ritendra, he was able to quickly diagnose my situation, and help co-create a path forward, and he is actively supporting me on my journey, always challenging and pushing me further. Every single meeting with Ritendra I learn something new. And BTW, Ritendra is also very vulnerable and humble and has many talents, including music, cinema and theater. What a joy to work with him!
