Nitin Garg, a lead technical consultant on our award-winning Commerce team is a great example of how supportive Perficient is when pursuing career growth opportunities. Read his insights below to learn more about him, his role, and how Perficient supported his career growth as he moved to the United States.
What is your role? Describe a typical day in the life.
As a lead technical consultant, I lead technical implementation and design from the onshore side. A day in this position is a combination of a lot of things, such as meetings to understand business requirements and creating functional design documents. I also work closely with offshore Nagpur development to provide required support in technical implementation by solving open queries or sometimes creating proof of concepts to guide how the implementation will work.
My role also involves creating visual workflows and presenting them to clients to make sure business requirements cover nearly all use cases and to identify potential challenges. This allows us to create alternative paths or solutions to overcome roadblocks.
Other miscellaneous activities I do are code reviews, creating and maintaining updates of implementation design documents, writing Perficient blogs, and helping improve internal team processes whenever possible.
