Bio
Shanu Shaji
Samuel can be seen as a perfect amalgamation of a brilliant developer, a creative mind, and a meticulous & goal oriented project executor. He is an extremely viable asset to any team he is part of.
Avinash Maurya
It was fantastic to work together with Samuel, who was an excellent programmer. Proactive, dynamic and totally organized. Samuel is an organized and customer-service oriented perfectionist, has no problem to work hard when necessary. Working at Burning Glass was most challenging because he didn't have Computer-Science background and yet he managed to learn most of the concepts which was necessary to perform the job of good frontend engineer. I could always depend on him to set the best example as good engineer. Certainly someone I'd want to to have on my team.

I've also started using modern techniques (ES6) and modern Frameworks (VueJs and ReactJs) wherever possible so that we don't end up writing thousands of jQuery code for just a small dynamic UI part. I've mentioned a few of my responsibilities on this job below - Take ownership of various customer-facing websites… Show more Okay, so I got promoted.. Yay!!
