Amit is a driven individual who doesn't shy away from challenges. He joined our team a few months ago as an architect and has been instrumental in driving architectural decisions and force approvals from a client that has been very tough to manage. He did this while he was a part of two other teams that need his architectural guidance in similar ways as we do.

Amit worked with me between June 2003 and January 2005. He is a good team man and dedicated person. We worked together on several projects where he carried out his tasks commendably.
