Himankar is an excellent addition to any team; he is always eager to know how a feature works, and how it fits into the bigger picture of the product . His troubleshooting skills are superb, and he is never afraid to dig deep into the data. After transitioning to Himankar's team, and learning about the product from him, I enjoyed working with him on a multitude of projects, from large refactors, to small bug fixes, all with great success. He was always quick to help, and add suggestions. I truly enjoyed working with Himankar.

Himankar was a pleasure to work with. He can switch between highly technical implementations and higher-level business understanding depending on what's needed. He thrives on building and understanding the long-term vision and can break down the steps to get there.
