Chief Technology Officer at Bakipa-
1 person has recommended Prafulla
"A reliable and hard working developer, a great team player and a quick learner. Being in the same team I got
a chance to work with him on numerous projects and hackdays. Far from all kinds of silly talks, Prafulla is a
diligent employee with equally good backend and front end skills. Given a console at his hands, he can even
code while he's sleeping. In a nutshell, he is an asset which every web company wants."
