Meet the Team: Bhushan Rakhecha
Tell us a little bit about yourself, your background, and your role. How did you land here?
I’m Bhushan Rakhecha, and I’ve been a part of Trestle since its very first day. My journey in the IT industry began over two decades ago after completing my Master’s in Computer Management. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working across various domains and wearing many hats, which helped me build a deep understanding of both technical and managerial aspects.
I joined Trestle as a Senior Solution Architect, where my primary focus was to create and deliver scalable, robust solutions. Over time, I transitioned into my current role as Head of Engineering, where I now lead a talented team of engineers. My goal is to drive innovation, streamline processes, and ensure that our projects are executed efficiently.
As for how I landed here – it was a natural progression. I’ve always been passionate about solving complex problems and building something from the ground up. Trestle’s vision resonated with my own aspirations, and being part of this journey from day one has been immensely rewarding.
What does your daily routine look like?
My daily routine is a balance between strategic planning and hands-on problem-solving. I typically start my day by reviewing the progress of ongoing projects and addressing any blockers the team might be facing. Mornings often involve meetings with the engineering team to align on priorities, review code quality, and ensure we’re on track with deadlines.
After that, I focus on high-level planning—whether it’s refining our development processes, coordinating with other departments, or exploring new technologies that can improve our solutions. I also dedicate time to mentoring and supporting my team, as I believe in fostering a collaborative and growth-oriented work environment.
In the afternoon, I shift my focus towards longer-term objectives, such as product roadmaps, ensuring we’re innovating, and that our solutions align with the company’s goals. By the end of the day, I take stock of what we’ve accomplished and make adjustments to plans if needed, always keeping an eye on both current execution and future growth.
Outside of work, I make time for personal growth and maintaining a healthy routine, whether it’s a brisk walk or spending time with family, which helps me stay balanced and energized.
What excites you most about Trestle?
What excites me most about Trestle is its innovative spirit and the opportunity to be part of something that has been built from the ground up. From day one, Trestle has fostered a culture of collaboration, where ideas are not only welcomed but encouraged. This openness allows us to push boundaries and explore cutting-edge solutions that truly make an impact.
Another exciting aspect is the team itself. Working alongside a talented, passionate group of individuals who are constantly striving for excellence keeps the environment dynamic and motivating. The challenges we tackle together are complex, but the satisfaction of solving them and delivering value to our clients is incredibly fulfilling.
Moreover, Trestle’s commitment to growth—both in terms of technology and its people—resonates deeply with me. It’s a place where continuous learning and innovation are at the forefront, and being part of that journey, where we shape the future of the company, excites me every day.
What Trestle value do you relate to most?
The Trestle value I relate to most is “Customer First.” I strongly believe that the success of any business is rooted in understanding and addressing the needs of its customers. Throughout my career, I’ve seen firsthand how placing the customer at the center of every decision leads to better outcomes—both for the client and the company.
At Trestle, we strive to be responsive and accessible, and I take that to heart in my role. Whether it’s ensuring that we deliver reliable, high-quality solutions or being available to address concerns promptly, I always prioritize our customers’ needs. This approach not only builds trust but also allows us to develop long-term, meaningful relationships with our clients.
Ultimately, the “Customer First” value drives everything we do, and it’s incredibly rewarding to be part of a team that is focused on delivering solutions that truly make a difference for our customers.
