I have worked with Natarajan and can honestly recommend him as a worthwhile contributor to any team. He is able to operate at levels as required by projects, works very well with team members, is a team player, thinks outside of the box and makes worthwhile contributions to solution analysis. I would definitely engage him again on future projects of mine.
