What’s your role with RFgen?

I am an Oracle Cloud consultant.

How did you start in your core ERP specialty?

Oracle was gaining lot of popularity in SE Asia, so I started learning the 10.4 character version of Oracle Applications.

What does a typical day look like at RFgen for you?

I start my day quite early. I have calls with Mandy Kukreja (RFgen Senior Oracle Consultant), due to the overlap in time zones. We mostly plan all of the activities that need to be completed for the next one to two days. It might include customer work, research that needs to be done for the Oracle Cloud open source, developing RFgen applications for Oracle Cloud and usually some follow up with Oracle.

Our work gets recognized which is very satisfying.

What do you think makes you effective as an Oracle consultant?

Our customers usually find RFgen quite user friendly, so educating them becomes very easy.

How do you overcome customer challenges?

Most of the challenges get addressed over time as we keep adding functionalities. But if there is a unique requirement, we address it thoroughly.
