        Aabhas possesses that rarest of qualities:  the ability to confidently drive conversations about highly nuanced and technical subjects among engineers and, at the drop of a hat, communicate those ideas to business stake holders in clear, succinct ways.  I've learned a great deal from Aabhas and truly admire his passion and dedication.  He would be an invaluable asset to any team and is an ideal candidate for technical leadership roles.  Everyone who has worked with Aabhas values his sprit and I look forward to having an opportunity to work with him again.

His ability to learn and employ his knowledge to solve some of the most complex problems is outstanding. The expertise he posses in a variety of technologies, current trends and the ability to holistically understand the intersection of business and technology is astonishing. In my experience, he works well both as a team player and as an individual. Aabhas is truly one of a kind and am certain that the addition of Aabhas in a technical capacity will be a fruitful gain for any company.
