Akshat is a very conscientious and dedicated to his work. He took the time and effort to spearhead initiatives to maintain and improve various UI standards. Maybe that’s why he is the so called “css guru” of our team here at ADP. He has a positive attitude and a desire to produce quality work with a new perspective.”

Director of Product Management atWorked together at ADP LLC
As a Product Manager responsible for an integral piece of our new corporate strategy, I have had the pleasure of working with Akshat Shah for nearly a year. He is a very talented JavaScript Full Stack Developer, but he brings far more to the team. Because he was quick to recognize our mission, Akshat is playing a key role in the success of our solution. His dogged commitment to excellence, and his ability to access a problem holistically, is invaluable. I frequently seek his counsel to determine when a proposed solution is technically feasible. On a lighter note, Akshat is a joy to work with: his cheerful demeanor often lends a bright note to an otherwise grueling day.”
