Raju Gautam

I started my career as very basic IT professional for a year, then as per my interest I swiftly moved my career in S/W development as VB/ASP programmer and went through RoR, Perl and PHP and have continued with PHP.

From the 10 years of total professional experiences, I have led few groups of different numbers of technical members in them. So I have mostly dealt with the technical teams and acted as a mediator between the team and the management team as well as the clients. I worked as Team Leader for 3.5 years, as Head Of Department for 3 years and Solution Architect (Technical Leader) for 1 year and handled from 3 to 20 members in a team. So managing as a leader (not as a manager), assigning them proper tasks as per their skill sets so that they become happy while working on the task and help them whenever needed were my major responsibilities during my leadership experiences.

Specialties: PHP, Zend, YII, CodeIgniter, Joomla, Magento, Weh Services, API, XML, JavaScript (jQuery, Mootools), MySQL, PgSQL, HTML, CSS, RoR, Perl, ASP!
