Recommendations from colleagues and mentors I've had the privilege to work with.

Lucas Girardin

Senior Site Reliability Engineer at Microsoft | Mentor

March 16, 2026 · Lucas was senior to Ajay but didn't manage Ajay directly

I worked with Ajay Kumar Kushwaha on projects around monitoring and operational support for database products, and he is someone I genuinely enjoyed collaborating with.

Ajay is naturally curious and highly motivated to ramp up on new topics. He isn't afraid of complexity, in fact, he leans into it, takes the time to really understand the problem, and earns trust through the quality of his work. When Ajay owns a task, you can rely on him to carry it end-to-end and see it through.

You were new to Java when you have joined and started working with me. But the way you accelerated in gaining knowledge is simply superb. I honestly take note of how amazing you and your work both are! I appreciate the task; well done! The way you learn and the pace of doing tasks was never slow or underrated. Your finished products consistently reflect passionate determination and enthusiasm. Keep the good work up!

You are executing the plan while others are occupied making the plan. I heartily appreciate your exceptional work. Maintain a high level of delivery. You are living proof that passion for perfect results and excellent execution are more important than minimal experience in a task. Fantastic work!
