Anand Dharmarajan

Director, Product Support & Development at Bottlecapps

Anand loves squashing bugs, thinks he’s a bridge, wants to be a cross between Elon Musk and a West Texas cowboy, and dreams of owning a Raptor.

There’s the sales and marketing team (A) and there’s the software development team (B) and in between these two opposing groups is a bridge and that bridge is Anand. Anand understands the needs and requirements of A and can convert them to the technical terms B understands, then get it built, tested, debugged, launched, and debugged again.

Anand 1) graduated from the University of Texas with an MS in Information Systems, specializing in Business Analytics and Project Management, 2) built an Android smartwatch app for Verizon that helped him understand the technical skills required in an app company, and 3) as a graduate assistant in grad school he learned how to teach others. That’s a trifecta - kind of. These sets of experiences armed Anand with the perfect skills for Bottlecapps and the clients.

If he grows up, Anand wants to be an entrepreneur like Elon Musk (before Elon’s problems). He wants to own a ranch, too, near Big Bend National Park. He also wants 10 dogs. But wait, that’s not all. Anand wants to survey all he owns from the behind the wheel of his customized F 150 Raptor. As Anand says when he talks to himself, “believe you can and you’re half way there.”
