Recommendations

Timothy Hurt

Computational Science Education Lead at Lawrence Hall of Science, UC Berkeley. Timothy managed Vihaan directly

"Vihaan eagerly applied and improved his technical programming skillset to ensure the final product met my expectations. Over the course of a semester, Vihaan collaborated with another undergraduate student to design, build, and deploy an interactive website, using React, for a program at UC Berkeley's Lawrence Hall of Science. Vihaan's initiative on this project really stood out to me as he consistently developed strategies to overcome obstacles in order to move the project forward. It was a pleasure working with Vihaan, and he would be a strong team member or leader."

Jonas Huthmacher

Director of Product, Search and Analytics at LexisNexis. Jonas was Vihaan’s mentor at Carbon Crew.

"Vihaan is highly motivated and naturally curious. It was fantastic to see how Vihaan approached problem complex problems and proved to to be able to break down technical issues with his team. The team went from problem to MVP with real customers in just four weeks with Vihaan driving the vision, technology and marketing strategy of the company. Vihann is an inspiring young leader that I would be happy to have on any of my teams"
