I know vignesh from my second year of bachelors. We associated to participate in the technical fests at SASTRA . He is highly skilled and can pickup new technologies in a very short time which was the need of hour in the technical fests. I can safely say he has a very sound approach to problem solving too from our discussions. We collaborated for organizing workshops as part of The Electronics Club at SASTRA (TECS). Back in college he was very good at applying C programming and Assembly level programming to solve the problem sets of these technical fests. That's how he turned out to be the choice for technical head of the club in his bachelors senior year. In short you can trust him to get your job done to the dot in the job description with least hassle.
