About Ruksana Kothacheruvu

I am a senior technology lead with over 15 years of experience delivering complex systems across capital markets within top-tier investment banks. My background spans application development, developer analysis, trade floor support, application support, business analysis, and project management across fixed income, equities, market risk, counterparty credit risk, regulatory reporting, finance, and research.I specialize in bridging technology and business—translating front-office, risk, and regulatory requirements into scalable, high-impact solutions using SDLC and Agile methodologies. I have led cross-functional teams, partnered closely with trading desks and control functions, and driven end-to-end delivery of mission-critical platforms in highly regulated, data-intensive environments.Today, I am focused on building on this foundation by transitioning into Product Management and AI/ML-driven fintech solutions. My interests lie at the intersection of markets, data, and intelligent systems—particularly in areas such as risk analytics, regulatory automation, trading and research platforms, and ML-enabled decision support.With deep domain expertise in capital markets and a strong technical background, I bring a pragmatic, outcomes-driven approach to product strategy, discovery, and delivery. I am especially interested in roles where I can shape product vision, leverage AI responsibly, and deliver measurable business value in fast-evolving financial services environments.
