1 person has recommended Jignesh

"Highly Motivated! That’s how I would describe Jignesh. Jignesh worked for me at CADD EDGE INC.

Aug05-Sept07 and did not ever let me down. He was an individual that I could assign a task and know it

would get done. His knowledge in the FEA area was very good, yet he had the ability to explain it to people

who might not have that same background. I would recommend Jignesh to anyone."

Leon Austin, Technical Manager, CADD EDGE INC, managed Jignesh at CADDEdge
