Bio
Nyler Gaskins
Akash and I worked together as engineers in Charlotte, however, he stood out as a leader and great manager long before we worked on transformational projects together. Organized, trustworthy, and always transparent with his progressive knowledge and skills with his colleagues, Akash demonstrates the epitome of humbleness, with his eagerness to learn from any and everyone. As a great project team member, colleague and friend, I would recommend Akash for any technical or managerial position - based on his proven track record to enable his teams to over-perform while staying under budget and exceeding targets continuously he would be a great asset on any team.

Even before he was a Production manager, CI fanatic, leader, husband, I knew Akash would create his own path to success. He is a vivacious reader, music lover, movie enthusiast, a student of the world. Traveling, learning languages and always being intellectually curious. I’m not surprised Akash is living a life leading, setting standards and helping others succeed. For the ambitious smart person that he is, I would expect nothing less.
