I've enjoyed working with TV Ramesh and would readily recommend him as a SAS consultant to anyone. TV Ramesh assisted us in creating a leading edge research prototype for DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Agency) TV Ramesh had demonstrable experience in a number of technologies that we used in our project, including SAS/AF and SAS/GRAPH and geographical data processing. Our application was complex and pushed the state of the art, tying together images, multi-media, maps and web pages to allow real time presentation of complex situational analyses to multiple high level military and disaster emergency response decision makers at disparate locations. This project was well received by our customer and TV Ramesh's contributions were critical to achieving that success.

Mr. Ramesh developed a high level Retirement Seminar Tracking system for us that not only identified appropriate individuals to attend seminars but tracked attendance as well as created invitations and confirmations, using SAS software. He always went out of his way to insure the system was meeting our needs as they changed, as well as patiently training individuals in the use of this system. I would gladly use him on other projects as they arise. His professionalism and humor was refreshing.

Mr. Ramesh design and maintained several databases on an IBM mainframe computer using SAS software. These databases were compiled from census data and other demographic data from market research organizations. This data was used to develop a predictive model using SAS/Stat to forecast sales. Mr. Ramesh also worked on statistically analyzing data from test market campaigns and presented results using SAS/Graph. He also performed sensitivity analysis using IFPS to study the impact on corporate financial statements.

Mr. Ramesh's work (primarily under me) was always of the highest caliber and he always met project deadlines. In fact, he stayed with me on several occasions for more than thirty consecutive hours to meet these deadlines. In addition to being an extremely competent professional, Mr. Ramesh is a likeable and ethical man; I cannot say enough good things regarding his character.

Mr. Ramesh worked on a computer systems project for one of our clients in the utility industry (Pacific Gas and Electric Co.). He designed and maintained systems and databases on an IBM mainframe computer using SAS. These databases were used by him and other analysts to perform statistical analysis in the area of electricity and gas rate design. He was also responsible for creating and maintaining the Electricity Distribution Systems databases and analyzing this data for marginal cost determination. T.V. is an excellent Programmer Analyst amd a loyal employee who I recommend very highly.

T.V. Ramesh was employed as a Graduate Research Assistant for the 1985-86 academic year by the Office of Business and Economic Research at Oklahoma State University. His assignment was to provide computer and statistical consulting to faculty and staff members. As this was an experimental position within the organization, T.V. helped define the specific job duties and sought out needed information.

T.V. was highly successful in this position, resulting in the position's retention on a more permanent basis. That T.V.'s availability satisfied a previously un-met faculty need is one factor in this success, but certainly T.V. deserves accolades for his personal contribution.

He handled inquiries professionally and courteously for all users, demonstrating the ability to grasp the problem at hand and to seek a reasonable solution. He improved his technical knowledge on an independent basis in order to better serve the users. He was liked and respected by both the users and fellow staff members. The combination of technical ability, interpersonal skills, and self-motivation should be a significant value to many prospective employers.

The faculty research committee provided a significant indicator of their perception of T.V.'s value as an employee when they expressed concern over locating a replacement a full six month's before his expected graduation date. I believe T.V. has the potential to be a valuable employee to any organization providing him an opportunity and I recommend him highly to prospective employers.

Mr. T.V. Ramesh who was working with us for a little over year as a sales engineer, has been known to me for quite sometime. He was handling a wide range of products, connected with industrial energy conservation and heat recovery systems. As a sales engineer, he was responsible for some pioneering work in the concept of ceramic recuperators and electric arc furnace scrap preheaters. He successfully marketed these products to a number of leading companies in the Indian iron and steel sector. What I found very encouraging, was his ability to promote these products in the absence of any specific training in the field. He made this possible primarily because of clear communication, good understanding coupled with a lot of enthusiasm and thorough commitment to the job. Another important fact, which I am sure will take him a long way, is his ability to work hard and fight odds with a view to achieving his final objective
