LinkedIn Recommendations

Francis Villa-Abrille
Chief Front-end Architect - Capgemini (28 November, 2024)

I highly recommend Harshit, the lead front-end developer on our B2B e-commerce project. Despite starting with a strong foundation in front-end skills but being new to the hybris platform, Harshit took the initiative to teach himself and quickly became proficient. He played a key role in the team's success, providing guidance to colleagues and eventually becoming the lead. Harshit's combination of technical expertise, leadership, and collaborative approach make him an invaluable asset to any company. I look forward to the opportunity to work with him again and endorse him for challenging front-end development roles.
Sudhir Shinde
Managing Delivery Architect - Capgemini (30 May, 2020)

Harshit joined the digital transformation project at Capgemini with no prior SAP Commerce (hybris) implementation experience. He not only self-trained himself within SAP Commerce Platform but just within a year into project he became expert and a key contributor in all Front End development activities. He also started guiding and onboarding other junior front-end developers within team. He is a very quick learner, takes initiatives without any hesitation, and commands fantastic communication skills both verbal and written. I would love to have him in my team again.
