Me and Pavan have joined hands and worked together in various teams for 5 years. The greatest advantage of working with Pavan is his collaboration and team skills, collaborating with him is easy and I have seen that he can work along with any one from intern to most senior engineers in the org very easily. During the tenure when i came from the data background to infrastructure he has helped me a lot from understanding the infra to engineer various tools, he was an exceptionally reliable and go to guy for me. He is the most profound person I have met, and his ability to tackle any problem is remarkable and with his soft-spoken nature is a great asset to any team. I will miss working with him and all the best for your new journey. You would be a great asset wherever you go.
