Sumit is an inclusive engineer, he participates whole-heartedly not only at the coding phase but earlier at the product and design phase. He is sharp, and clear on the goals. He provides alternative approaches to solving issues; communicates well where he articulates the underlining issue and explains resolutions clearly. Sumit has a bright future, and I believe he is an asset to any team he works with.
