Frankly, Damu knows he's stuff. From day one, he proved his in-depth knowledge of Magento and started to increase our technical skills. He works well in the Agile teams and has brought capability and stability to one of the largest e-commerce sites in AU/NZ. Highly recommended.
Damu is a Magento guru who has comprehensive Magento knowledges and skills. Since joining the team, Damu has proven himself with his excellent work and focus on details. Thank you Damu for all your effort to make the Dick Smith website faster, more efficient and more stable. Damu is also always committed to the work and I really appreciate his positive working attitude, apart from his technical skills. It is really great to have Damu in the team.
Damodar worked with me for over 6 years and is a loyal, dedicated and diligent employee. He was one of the first Magento Developers in Australia and has worked with me on many exciting projects including the Bing Lee's first e-commerce store in Australia. Damodar has been consistently reliable and willing to always go the extra mile. He is a fantastic developer and individual I would highly recommend him to any potential employer.
Damodar is a dedicated web developer who will get the job done who has experience working on both front end and back end. In the last few years, Damu's has been focusing on the Magento eCommerce platform with both Community and Enterprise edition.
From configuring and theming the platform to installing and customising third party extensions as well as implementing bespoke functionalities, Damodar has a great knowledge of the beast!
I feel privileged to work with Damu. He is a fantastic developer. Sometimes it is not easy to prepare a really tight brief but he always seems to understand exactly what it is that you are looking for. His work has made me look really good on a number of occasions. He is extremely modest, conscientious and reliable.
I worked with Damodar on a number of web projects (mostly Magento eCommerce platform based), and it was always fantastic to have him on the team.
Damu is very dedicated, practical and solution oriented person, with many years of development experience and in-depth understanding of web application design and architecture, as well as various related technologies from back-end to front-end, database and server configuration.
He is also a great troubleshooter and isn't afraid of the challenges, however complicated the problem or requirements might be. This combined with great work ethic and professionalism made Damu an invaluable team member, who would deliver working and reliable solutions even under very tight timelines and I would highly recommend Damodar for any web development related role.
Damodar was one of the best devlopers that I worked with at AcidGreen. He was always polite and curteous in his dealings with internal staff and external clients, prompt in compleleting his assigned tasks ans escalating any issues.
I have worked with many developers over my years but few with such an attitude that Damodar brings to the table. It is one thing to be a master of your trade but it is another to be able to articulate and explain that trade in an enthusiastic and casual manner. I believe Damodar is a great asset to any team & one of the most efficient and hard-working individuals I have ever had the pleasure to collaborate with.
