"I am writing to express my gratitude for the work your team performed for Mission Bell over the last 18 months. I appreciate the time and energy from you and Gaurav in understanding our business needs and providing solutions and suggestions that added tremendous value to Mission Bell. Lavanya Adduri was also fantastic, leading your development team and digging into our core application to understand the code and the business use cases the application solves. Lavanya was diligent and persistent in troubleshooting issues, proficient with code development for feature and functionality improvements and managed support tickets quickly and resolutely. I’m more than happy to be a reference regarding the work you and your team execute efficiently and precisely."
