Bio
Kedar Pagedar
Nikhil was hired as part of campus drive at GS Lab. I liked his candid and composed attitude towards understanding the problem well. In no time he had mastered quite a few technologies that would qualify him for a full stack engineer. His commitment towards his work and his maturity at such a young age were his key strengths. I wish him great success for his future.
Manoj Sharma
Nikhil joined our group as intern. As one of the senior manager in the group my role was oversight and mentoring. The very first impression of him was his timeliness, sincerity and work ethics. As weeks passed we started noticing his ability to parse the ask and engage with senior folks to deliver tasks he was entrusted. He contributed from test automation of a key flow to improve performance of a high transaction page and optimizing queries in ORM. In the short time not only he familiarized himself with domain but also diverse technologies including Python, Django, ReactJS, Docker, Selenium and Robot Framework. IMO, he will succeed in structured as well as agile environment.
