Bio
Gagan Sharma
Gavin is my ex-colleague, and I have worked very closely with him @ The University of Melbourne. He is a very soft-spoken and a balanced head professional. Most of the time, you feel the problem will be easily solved while you are talking to him, and even well before he proposes a solution. He puts so much effort into delivery and is a proactive professional who makes sure the needs of the project are taken care of in the highest professional way. His concept clarity and swift working style have always impressed me while working with him. He is well versed in the latest server and data management systems, networks, load balancing, and service delivery. In all honesty, he is an asset wherever he goes, and he works.

Gavin did an excellent job managing a tough change management situation. He was always there when needed to answer technical questions and share knowledge. I relied on him to give me the gory technical details to help me make informed decisions. I'm looking forward to working with Gavin in the future.
