Vijay has got great ideas and knowledge to build new technology and update himself with the current trends. When he is building a new solution, if he is stuck he always get a solution out of it and gives greater result than anyone who would expect.

I rarely come across real talents who stand out like Vijay. I had the pleasure of working with Vijay for two years at LTI and know him very well as a friend from University. Vijay’s ability to handle multiple projects or tough situations was unlike any I’ve seen before. As a team member or a leader, Vijay earns my highest recommendation.
