- Elena Fedotova, Technical Writing and Content Strategy Manager
"Vikram had the difficult task of supporting a highly technical team in Massachusetts from our India office. From India, Vikram was able to effectively learn our complex documentation tools and environment, learn the technical topics of his team, and deliver supporting product documentation in a timely manner. He also established good working relationships with his teammates. Vikram is a solid technical writer who has a feel for the nuances of writing online documentation for the technical user."
- Bernice Moy, Technical Writer
"Over the last several years, Vikram and I have collaborated on numerous developer centric projects, notably bridging the gap between technology and end user needs. Vikram forged tight relationship with his engineering peers to tease out nuanced developer journeys that correlated to developer goals in a way that helped onboard and nurture develops through a wide variety of documentation resources. In providing developer journey maps that aligned with lower level workflow and use cases, Vikram’s work ensured we were meeting the developer where they were with the right amount of detail at the right time. Vikram even expanded his scope to provide workflow diagrams to our developer community to help set context with the available tools, documentation, code samples, and online resources. It’s rare to find someone willing to take such a comprehensive view."
- Tom Lenth, Developer Experience (DX) Architect
"I've had the pleasure of working with Vikram as the product manager for Intel performance profiling tools where he served as our technical writer and content strategist. From the very beginning, he impressed me with his exceptional attention to detail, deep understanding of technical content, and consistently high-quality output.
Vikram is highly collaborative and communicates effectively across cross-functional teams - including engineering, product, and field engineers. His ability to take complex technical concepts and turn them into clear, user-friendly content has been invaluable.
One of his most impactful contributions was implementing solutions that significantly improved the discoverability of our documentation. He also collaborated closely with me and the engineering team to improve and manage the process of developing user-problem-centric technical content.
He's a true asset to any team, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a skilled technical communicator."
- Serap Suvari Guven, Senior Product Manager
"I hired Vikram in 2017 at Intel Corp as a Senior Technical Writer to work on the Intel Math Kernel Library (MKL) documentation. A couple of years later, he trained as a content strategist and transitioned to the role of a Content strategist and Technical writer on the Intel Vtune Profiler project. Vikram was an integral part of my team till I retired from Intel in 2021. I originally hired Vikram for his good technical background and writing skills, and was later pleased to discover that he was a good learner and great team player as well."
- Padma Nepalli, Technical Writing Manager
"Vikram is a thorough researcher and diligent at making sure his documentation accurately and clearly reflects the product capabilities...exactly what you want from a technical writer! Most importantly, he synthesizes feedback well, enhancing the quality of his doc. He adapts to a set of writing standards that is constantly evolving. Further, he helps to establish process with his dev team; for example, he came up with a way to ensure doc was reviewed in a timely manner. Great to work with."
