Kuldeep has been a very valuable help for our BlomURBEX project and products, both in coding and analyzing new development needs. He was new to the GIS technology environment but he managed to learn all key concepts in a very short time, so his contribution to the projects has been remarkable since day one. He has shown a good background on Java and Javascript technologies, writing neat and efficient code. He has also faced the analysis of several big and difficult tasks, which he managed to solve with intelligent and innovative ideas. The communication with Kuldeep has always been smooth and effective. He and I have worked very close, analyzing and coding the same products, and I enjoyed a lot talking with him about them because he always had very good insights and ideas, so I learnt a lot from him
