He is personable, and he easily interfaces with people. He familiarizes himself constantly with current tools that can be used to enhance the knowledge or efficiency of any endeavor.

"Sree worked in the Usability Analysis and Testing group at Paychex from March to May of this year (2011). During that time he conducted and contributed to a major study of our payroll reports. He participated in the creation of a usability plan, the creation of interview questions for live interactions with clients, and the creation of a major survey (using survey software) that was posted to our larger client population.
Among his extensive activies and exposures to usability techniques, Sree recruited clients for site visits and usability sessions (cold calling); he participated in observations and interviews face-to-face with clients at their own locations; he actively observed and took notes for remote usability sessions with clients using meeting software.
After each session he participated in session debriefs and identification of major and minor usability issues, and then contributed to the affinity diagramming of those findings to see common trends across user experiences.
Sree created the report that analyzed the summation of usability findings regarding our payroll reports; he put together a slide show and presentation; and he presented to our user experience team.
During his brief tenure with us, I was impressed by these personal traits: quickness of mind, competence, confidence, courtesy, work ethics, comfort with responsibility, interpersonal skills, discipline, technical acumen, willingness to learn, offerings of new ideas, independence, teachability, ability to lead, ability to follow.
Sree would be an asset to any team."
