Founder at ClimeTech
I hesitate to give feedback because I dont want to share Karan. However, he is by far the best developer that I have ever worked with. From day one, I had a burden lifted from my shoulders because I knew that I could trust him to complete the job in an outstanding manner. Not only is he extremely flexible, but he would often suggest little improvements that made the whole project much better than I had initially planned.

Interests

Besides my job, I have many interests that help me grow and stay balanced. I'm very into fitness because it makes me feel good and teaches me to set and reach goals. I also love being creative, like drawing, writing, and taking photos, which lets me see the world in new ways. Staying updated on web tech and design is important for my work, so I listen to podcasts, go to events, and use Twitter to learn more. When I want to relax, I watch Netflix. I enjoy documentaries and dramas because they tell powerful stories and connect with people. These activities keep me focused, curious, and always learning.
