It has been my great privilege to mentor Pras from 2019-2022. When I first started working with Pras, he was a genuine newbie in his first professional engagement and with almost no code under his belt. I taught him the principles of good code architecture, countless programming patterns, and how to design and build AWS-based multiregion networks in a highly-automated PaaS environment, a domain that I note has intimidated many more-experienced developers. Pras has been a consistent high-achiever. He has made excellent progress as a programmer and software engineer, and has consistently maintained a bubbly and enthusiastic energy that is, quite frankly, terrifying! Pras is always the first to put his hand up for anything, even if he has no idea, he throws himself into the problem, learns everything there is to know about it, solves it, and puts his hand back up. Pras has shown himself to be a quick study, a flexible engineer capable of entering new problem spaces and adapting his approaches to them, a capable client liaison who builds and maintains great relationships, and someone who brings a cordial atmosphere to any meeting or discussion. He is enthusiastic, proactive, responsible, thoughtful, he eagerly accepts feedback and incorporates it into his work.

I have had the pleasure to see Pras develop his career over the past 3 years at Versent moving from an associate engineer to software engineer. He joined Versent as a career switcher where Pras's dedication to learn and improve his craft with a willingness to try new things has seen him really develop his engineering skills. He has earned the trust of his team and customer by his work ethic and always following through on what says he will do. He is now a respected member of our team and 'go to' on many aspects of our stack. More than that he openly shares his knowledge to assist others around him. Pras has a lot of great qualities but the standout is that he always brings a positive and inclusive attitude to work no matter what.
