        Aanuj had shown steadfast dedication in the time we worked together. Dedication to his craft as an engineer, but also to his co-workers, and to his friends and family.  I enjoyed working alongside Aanuj, and seeing his skills develop as an engineer understanding the nuances and complexities of his project from both a micro- and macro-scale.  As his manager I appreciated, and trusted in Aanuj as an asset to my, or anyone's team. John DiCosimo
