I have obtained ICF accredited coaching certifications (Coach Training Alliance, BetterUp) to further develop my coaching abilities, and will help you clarify your short and long term goals holistically, and achieve them in a timely manner.
I am a graduate of Georgia Tech, USA, and originally from Mumbai, India. I am fluent in English and Hindi, and am able to coach in both languages if needed. My technical strengths are Java, Systems Design and AWS technologies.

Ritika helped me with brainstorming a systems design problem. Her knowledge of principles was solid, and she understood the problem very quickly. I was successfully able to unblock myself in our session. Thanks Ritika!

Ritika helped me with a encapsulation assignment in Java. She didn’t simply solve my questions, she helped me understand the concepts. I would take lessons with her again in the future.
