4 people have recommended Hardik

"I have had the privilege of having Hardik in my team. Hardik clearly stands out in a couple of areas : project
ownership & delivery quality. With respect to ownership, he takes end-to-end responsibility for each project
assigned to him. He goes above and beyond normal expectations to look for risky areas of a project and
creates an effective strategy to tackle them. Quality of delivery has to do with this attention to the finer details
of his work products thinking beyond normal usecases of a module. All work produced by Hardik has been of
very good quality. Customers have always complemented his work. I am sure Hardik will prove to be a great
asset to any group he works with."
Sudhakar P., Software Development Manager, Motorola, managed Hardik at Motorola
"Hardik is very professional, organized and approachable team member. He ensures that his work meets the
customers requirements and constantly follows-up during the life of project to ensure complete satisfaction.
From a technical standpoint, Hardik also helped team with innovative ideas and "think out of box" approach."
Jagat S., Sr. Staff Engineer, Motorola Inc., managed Hardik indirectly at Motorola
"I worked very closely with Hardik over the past several years. He always comes to work with a positive
attitude, learns what is necessary to get the job done, and regularly exceeds expectations when it comes to
execution. I can think of multiple examples where Hardik came up to speed quickly on a project in an area he
knew little about, and quickly became a go to person for our team. Hardik would be an asset to any team he
joins."
Steven S., Principal Staff Software Engineer, Motorola, managed Hardik indirectly at Motorola
"Hardik is a detail-oriented developer who constantly keeps the users' experience in mind, either in
development, or in team collaborative design sessions. He is both open minded and knowledgeable, making
him a good team player. I would recommend Hardik for any Web/Software Development position."
Geoff C., Interface Designer, Institute of Design, IIT, worked directly with Hardik at IIT - Institute of
