Recommendations by my peers and managers (copied from Linkedin)“Nilesh doesn't build web 2.0 products, he lives them. He is up on the latest technology, heavily involved in open source, and willing to do what it takes to ship his products and sustain them... Pleasure having him on my team.” Rajiv Puranik, Director of Network Integration Engineering, Media Group, Yahoo!
“Nilesh is a world-class software engineer who is always thinking outside the box and asking "what if?". Nilesh is an innovative problem solver because he constantly keeps his skills sharp and stays current on the latest technology by working on his own projects in his spare time, which he often generously shares with his colleagues when he is on the job. As a result, I have seen Nilesh come up with perfect solutions to countless challenges and roadblocks during our team's product development cycle. Nilesh's passion for excellence is contagious, he gets along with everyone, and he is an invaluable asset to any engineering team. I recommend him highly.” Ernest Aguayo, Senior Producer and Editor, Yahoo! “Nilesh is an outstanding and passionate software engineer. His passion shows up in terms of his dedication, technical skills, and impressive knowledge of the latest web technologies and tools. Nilesh constantly seeks to learn new skills, build new products, and have a good time while he does it. This infectiously positive attitude makes him an even more valuable team member. Nilesh will become an indispensable member of your team, if you can keep up with him. I give him my highest recommendation.” Mike Grishaver, Director of Product Management, Yahoo!
“Nilesh is easy to work with and always willing to take time out to help or explain things. He is not only great at being an engineer, but he also is awesome at helping to explain things to partners and co-workers. He is always looking to make things better and easier for our clients. Nilesh always is thinking of what is best for the company overall and making sure that we execute against that. Nilesh is a very valuable asset to ANY team he is on! I highly recommend Nilesh!” Karen Chin, Product Manager, Yahoo!
“During our collaboration at Yahoo!, I met Nilesh as a very dedicated and hard-working person. His social skills made the nine hours time difference (Stockholm-SE - Sunnyvale-CA) disappear and our project moved forward to the next release stage.” Nicolas Grasset, Software Engineer, Yahoo! Inc.
“I had the pleasure of working with Nilesh when the Education and Kids team was transitioning to Agile methods. He is a very sharp engineer who, early on, saw the benefits that Agile was giving to the team, and he put in extra effort in helping the team out with the transition. He had a plethora of suggestions (during our team retrospectives) on ways in which the team could improve further - ranging small tweaks to make meetings more effective, to self-developed utilities and tools that would help speed up the team's coding work. I'd jump at the opportunity to work with Nilesh again.” February 18, 2008 JF Unson, Program Manager & Senior Agile Coach, Yahoo Inc.
“I've worked with Nilesh in the same team. He is an excellent software engineer, fast problem solver, up to date in knowledge and skills, innovative, always passionate about his work. He's also a team player, always ready to lend a helping hand.” Annie Quimby, Senior Software Engineer, Yahoo!
“Nilesh is a brilliant backend engineer with impressive PHP skills. He's the one guy I trust to vet candidates for backend positions. Nilesh always has an innovative solution ready and writes clean object-oriented code. He's also quite a hacker, always learning new technologies and scoping out new programming trends.” Steve Krutzler, Senior Frontend Engineer, Yahoo
“It was such a pleasure working with Nilesh on Yahoo! Education. Not only is he an extremely talented engineer, but he is one of the most genuine, sincere people I've ever met. He builds fantastic products and continually strives to innovate by bringing his ideas to the table.” January 11, 2008 Jennifer McDonnell, Product Manager, Yahoo!
“I worked with Nilesh on the Yahoo! Kids team. He was very personable and easy to work with -- and just a fun guy to be around! I'm not a technical person, but he must have been a good engineer, because another team stole him from Yahoo! Kids, and we were very sad to lose him.” Michele Meyer, Editor, Yahoo! Inc.
“I worked closely with Nilesh on the projects for Yahoo! Education and Yahooligans/Yahoo! Kids web sites. Nilesh is skilled with both back-end engineering and front-end/UI portion which made him an even more valuable team member. I was impressed with how Nilesh kept up with changes in technology and ability to innovate quickly to implement a new feature or solution.” Mary Wang, Software Engineer, Yahoo!
“Nilesh is a fantastic software engineer with a proven ability to develop and deliver scalable and resiliant web based applications.” Mike Surma, Operations Engineer, Yahoo!
“Nilesh provided software development support for many major scientific tools and databases. He has excellent sense of project requirements, programming fluency, and meeting or beating the deadlines. I would put everything into one line, if I were to hire anyone I would hire him. He had been remarkably successful and this is a loss for St. Jude that he decided to move on. I wish him success in all his future endeavors.” Perdeep Mehta, Research Scientist, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital
“Nilesh was a tremendous asset to the team. His quick turn around and knowledge of the subject matter made it easy to convey the request and get the best output. He constantly pushed the envelope in being cutting edge with databases and web interfaces. His affable mannerisms made him a favorite partner on most projects.” Suraj Mukatira, Research Scientist, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital
“Nilesh was an outstanding developer for us. He has excellent skills (both PHP and J2EE), exemplary work ethics and a great attitude. He got along well with all team members. He constantly learns new skills and technologies and continuously tries to improve the quality of his work. It was unfortunate for us that he needed to move up north. We would have done just about anything to keep him!” Momodou Sanyang, Software Development Group Leader, sjcrh
