        When I met Aalap, I had just started and I am extremely grateful he was on my team. Aalap was always available to answer any technical or company questions I had, and was one of my go-to references for my CICD and Jenkins questions. He always made time for my questions no matter how busy he was or how small the question. Whether it was about on-boarding or deploying a pipeline, Aalap would walk me through the process step-by-step. I know I can rely on Aalap as he always is present at work and on time for meetings. Aalap not only helped our team deliver projects on time, but also helped me learn and enjoy my time at Disney.

        I was honored to have the opportunity to work with Aalap at Disney.  He has the ability to not only demonstrate  complex technical concepts with ease, but also has the uniqueness of being very personable and professional.  When i first started at Disney, he was one of the first team members who made me feel welcome, and get settled.  He is not shy about going above and beyond what is expected to get the job done.  I highly recommend Aalap to not only be part of your team, but have no doubt that he will very quickly prove to be an asset to your organization.
