Rohit is hands-down one of the strongest, most productive engineers I've ever managed. He is extremely talented and driven, easily juggling many projects and then asking for more. He had no problem learning our system from scratch, and he brought a lot of great new ideas to the table. Rohit is very approachable, enthusiastic for challenges, and exceedingly bright, especially when it comes to learning new things and getting things done. He is definitely one of the best.
