Anurag's a very well-rounded programmer, able to apply himself to a wide variety of tasks. He's extremely pro-active in his communication; if he spots a potential problem or has a suggestion to improve processes you can be sure he'll let you know. He's also extremely proud of his work, so you can be sure he'll always strive for quality In the time I worked with him I found him to be well respected by his team (by artists and designers, as well as other programmers) both for his ability and for his willingness to help out anyone who encounters a problem. I'm very happy to recommend Anurag to any team or studio looking to hire him.
