        Ashok is an incredibly talented software engineer and project manager. I have worked with him for almost 11 years at Cisco Systems on various projects and he was always well prepared for project discussions and on time or early with his project deliverables. He is creative, articulate, quickly grasped new ideas, and offered creative solutions to overcome obstacles and reduce project risks. Ashok’s IT analysis skills are also top mark and very strategically thinking being able to analyze problems and determine possible positive and negative future outcomes that may come up with different software system architectures. From a project management perspective Ashok keeps a level head in tense discussions and is very good at negotiating with stakeholders in feature versus time delivery conflicts and analyzing project requirements, risks, and risk reduction options. Ashok is a good team player and I hope to work with him again in the future.
