Recommendations
I had the pleasure of working closely with Vish at Ciena. Vish Mandala brought a deep understanding of technology and Data/Integration architecture, which they combined with exceptional execution skills to lead the successful implementation of complex integration projects. He was responsible for architecting the data, integrating multiple systems such as Salesforce, Snowflake, Oracle, Workday, and Custom applications, and ensuring seamless data flow across the organization.
His strong leadership skills were evident in how they rallied their team and ensured everyone was aligned and working towards common goals. And his positive attitude and proactive approach inspired everyone to give their best and motivated the team to achieve great results.

I have had the privilege of working with Mandala. Mandala is a calculated risk-taker. He has an uncanny way of determining what the target project needs and has the capability of tweaking his coding modules accordingly. As a pragmatic team leader and a realist, He can grasp designing skills in a holistic manner and still pay attention to minor details. Mandala has a well-deserved reputation as someone who is diligent and personable – two qualities that define his completely.
As someone who is a creative thinker and possesses a can-do attitude, Mandala is a pleasure to work with. I recommend him highly for an Oracle SOA, IDM expert for any organization that chooses to take benefit from his diverse skills.
