My Bragging Rights!

Below are a list of emails from my esteemed co-workers and managers on my various successful efforts at webMethods.  (Arranged Chronologically with the most recent on the Top)

Bala Yanamandra (Engineering Manager) at webMethods on my ebXML Module training of some collegues at our newly opened office in Bangalore, India.


Great job Raghu training IDC guys. ebXML is the first module IDC guys got trained. Way to go!!!

From Nagesh Chigurupati (Senior Software Engineer) on my detailed reply to a Customer Issue.

You are just tooo good! (I never thought I would say something like that :)

Becky Leon (Senior QA Manager) at webMethods on a company wide email announcing my promotion.

Raghu Krishnan has been promoted to Sr. QA Engineer!  Raghu started with webMethods in September of 2000.  Anyone who has worked with Raghu knows how professional he is and how dedicated to ensuring the quality of webMethods products.  Throughout his career at webMethods Raghu has worked on various products such as the estandards RosettaNet, ebXML, CIDX, and HIPAA, and has even shown some expertise in Modeler/Monitor/PRT during 6.0.1 and 6.1 Releases.  Raghu has strong leadership skills which were obvious when he effectively ran the HIPAA 6.0.2 project.  His team members respect him and know they can come to him for help anytime.

Bala Yanamandra (Engineering Manager) at webMethods on my Initiative to get some information from an external organization to make our product better

I wish everybody in vip team is like you....taking initiative on their own.

Nagesh Chigurupati (Lead Software Engineer) at webMethods on my document for improving product performance

Very well written document dude.

Michael Jonath (Engineering Manager) at webMethods on my Input to a Customer Issue

Raghu,
Thanks a lot for this validation.  You are the man with experience on the matter, and I appreciate your input.

Tom Leventhal (QA Manager at webMethods) on PNC Bank's Go Live with webMethods Hipaa Solution

I believe that a large part of this was that fact that you were able to come onto the project and drive the QA process.  The biggest concern that the customer had was that there was a perceived lack of QA on the product.  You helped alleviate that perception by talking with the customer and explaining your approach to testing and by working with Softima to drive the testing.
Excellent job!
Thanks for your hard work.

Bala Yanamandra (Engineer Manager - VIP Team) in an  email to Tom Leventhal (QA Manager) at webMethods on webMethods FIX Product Testing

Last week Raghu found problem with FIX adapter when sending double byte characters. I made a fix and he tested this until Sunday morning. What a guy he is. He did spend considerable amount of time last weekend as well making sure all the FIX messages are working as per the FIX spec.
I am greatful for working with this guy in getting a solid product out of the door. And you should be proud of him for having such a committed member in your team.

Tom Leventhal 's Reply

Thanks for the great feedback on Raghu.  I am impressed with the skill and dedication that he has and ma always proud of him.  He is a great ambassador for the group.  Many people from outside the group who have come into contact with Raghu have expressed how impressed they are with his work.

Raja Hammoud (Senior Product Manager at webMethods)

You're so nice to work with.  I so wish we could steal you to Modeler team.

Daisy Jiang (Product Manager at webMethods) on releasing archiving and deleting scripts

Andrea and Raghu,
I would like to personally thank both of you for such outstanding work putting together and QAing the archive/delete scripts.  You both worked so hard and were so dedicated to producing the best quality fix possible.  The work that you've done will directly benefit countless customers, POVs, PS, and SEs alike...
It is a true pleasure to work with you.

Anil Mangla (Professional Service at webMethods) in an email to Graham on my help with RosettaNet 6.01

I want to thank your team for providing help on RN6.0.1 to us for Infineon. Special thanks to Raghu who has been helping me on this one. We may need to continue using Raghu's help for clarifications/questions on need basis till we put Infineon in production.

Graham Gillen's Reply

That is fine - we need to get a few good customers on RNet 6.0.1.  Raghu is great except for liking the LA Lakers too much :-).  As QA is often unheralded, a Raghu mention in the eventual Production Event team e-mail would go a long way :-).

Graham Gillen (Product Manager at webMethods) on RosettaNet Certification

First things first - congrats to VIP engineering (and especially Raghu and Nagesh) for their effortless attention to detail and persistence in passing the RosettaNet Interop and Badging programs.

Rajesh Iyer (Director of my team at webMethods) in his status report on our RosettaNet Badging Effort

· RosettaNet Badging
    o RosettaNet Badging is the process of getting official “certification” of our solution from RosettaNet.org and consists of two phases:
        § Phase 1: Self-test using certification kit· Completed self tests despite numerous problems with self test kit
        § Phase 2: Official test using RN reference hub· Completed 75% of the testing as of now· On target for 100% completion in the next few days
    o Raghu Krishnan deserves special mention for his perseverance and insane amounts of hard work to make this happen

From Tom Leventhal (Senior Program Manager) on the same email thread about my RosettaNet badging effort

Yessirree, the VIP of smoothness has hit the three point shot.  Nothing but net.  Good work Raghu!

From Graham Gillen (Product Manager at webMethods) on me completing the RosettaNet Self Tests (191 extensive tests) after numerous issues on the project and in reponse to Tim Sakach's earlier email.

Way to go Raghu!  Your new nickname is going to be Raghu "Smooth" Krishnan...or as the black basketball players in the NBA would call you R.Smooth Krish.

From Tim Sakach (Engineering lead at Certivo, who developed the RosettaNet STK) on our Badging Effort

Congratulations on the progress thus far. It looks like RNIF badging with webMethods is well underway and should be completed in a matter of days. ......This is by far the smoothest badging effort yet.

From Rajesh Iyer (Director of my team at webMethods) on me completing the RosettaNet Self Tests (191 extensive tests) after numerous issues on the project.

Raghu - Congratulations and a BIG thanks to you for persevering through this very difficult process. In your honor we will call of today's meeting. I look forward to us wrapping up the formal badging stuff next week. Keep up the good work...

From Raja Hammoud (Platform Product Manager at webMethods) on my Technical Specification for Migration

That was fast!  Nice work Raghu!  I haven't read the document, but it looks meaty and detailed :-) ......
Thanks to you for helping us out!!!!!!!!

From Graham Gillen (Product Manager at webMethods) on my Technical Specification for Migration

....Great writing by Raghu (of course).

From Graham Gillen (Product Manager at webMethods) on my testing effort on the ebXML 1.0 release

I forgot to mention the usual excellent job BIG QA (Raghu) does to ensure such a solid release.   Raghu rocks! :-)

From Jessica Vallone (Documentation Writer at webMethods) on my Pencil Sketches

Raghu, I really like your drawings. I looked at about 15 or so. I really like the Dance Partner one a lot. Her face/spirit was very lively. You are
talented! I envy being able to draw like that....Looks like you could teach me a lot. Do you usually draw from a photo or picture? Life? Ever from memory?

From Dan Wigglesworth (Product Developer in my Team) on my apology note for getting frustrated

Dude, it is ok
I think our group is lucky to have a QA person who cares enough about the job, to be ticked off when things aren't being done right.

From Nagesh Chigurupati (Product Developer in my Team) on my apology note for getting frustrated

Raghu,
   You are one dedicated QA engineer. It is allright to let out your frustrations once in a while. It is better that you have done that with us. We can understand what you are going through.

From Elliot Holar (Director of Engineering - BIG team at webMethods) on my One year Aniversary

Raghu,
Congratulations - from what I've heard and seen, it's been an awesome year! ......
Enjoy, and thanks for your great contributions.

From Rajesh Iyer (Director of my team at webMethods) on one of our biggest releases, "Godzilla" at webMethods

Thanks Raghu - wouldnt have happened without your dedicated efforts ...

From Rajesh Iyer (Director of my team at webMethods) on one of our biggest releases, "Godzilla" at webMethods

Team

  It gives me great pleasure to announce the General Availability of the
  webMethods for RosettaNet 4.0 (code named Godzilla).
.......
I'd like to thank Raghu Krishnan for coming up with over
  200 test cases to ensure that Godzilla is a high quality release.

From Chris Romary (Software Developer at webMethods) on my testing effort.

Raghu,

...... Feel comfortable in the fact that without you there would not be
a release.  You've gone way above and beyond the call of duty to make this
product a success.  Even if you don't get official recognition, let me tell
you that I for one think you're doing an amazing job.

From Graham Gillen (Product Manager at webMethods) on my Status Report

Love this report Raghu!!!

From Rajesh Iyer (Director of my team at webMethods) on my Status Report

Raghu,

This is an *awesome* status report - great detail as well as summary of the overall QA process.

Raghu, going forward, please continue to send the overall QA report for your products - this is great format (the graphic is cool but dont do it if its time consuming :)
