Received the Citi Stars Award multiple times for my work in improving communication of the IT group to the larger company, understanding our platform users and building out a trade show booth tailored to user needs, and my work on initiatives such as a new tablet based loan booking process.
Darsh was brought on to the project a few weeks after it initially began, yet was conversant on project details and contributing insights almost immediately. His quick study of project materials and quick-witted humor made him a delight to work with.
