        I witnessed Aakash's growth from a junior engineer to not just a senior engineer, but a leader at Cisco. 

As a part of the hardware group at Cisco, he not only fulfilled the responsibilities of his role with a very thorough and detail-oriented approach, he also excelled at communicating the ins-and-outs to the stakeholders; so much so that some of us who were on the software side of other projects would read his reports to get insights into hardware design. He proactively took on more responsibilities during his time at Cisco and became a dependable asset for the hardware team. It was a pleasure to see him seamlessly switch from an engineer to a project leader of sorts, who understood the requirements of the product - both at a functional level and a more nuanced end-user level - and translated them to working prototypes and products.

        I co-founded Lumio with Aakash. I can say without hyperbole that he is one of the hardest working people I have come across. He quickly adopted medical language, consistently defined project milestones for multiple departments, and led our cross-functional team through the venture. As a medical device, pharmacy, and software company we naturally encountered several regulatory challenges. As CEO, Aakash led the company’s efforts to establish a pharmacy, receive FDA medical device approval, garner multiple patents, and acquire outside funding. He always delivered a sharp attention to detail to each task.
