Balaji Jayaram brings a good deal of enthusiasm to any projects he undertakes. He is a very good team player contributing in multifarious ways to a project’s success. I have seen him work on several critical projects. He plays a key role in shaping projects towards their goals. He finds solutions by being creative and thinking outside the box. He is always willing to go the extra mile to complete his tasks.

When I met Bala at FDNY, he immediately distinguished himself through his energy, intelligence and willingness to think outside the box. He has an intuitive sense of balancing the right ingredients for technology initiatives regardless of platform or challenge. It stems from a strong technical foundation and great operational fundamentals. These are the makings of a very fine team leader indeed!

Bala directed the technical side of the development of our website. I would only have superlative words to describe his contribution to the project. He is technically extremely competent, personable, and shows a lot of integrity. I highly recommend Optima Globals Solution that mobilized a great team to work on the development of our website.

I have had the great pleasure of working with Balaji on many projects as my technology and consulting partner. He is a smart and dedicated person who is never afraid to take on a challenging task. Balaji is an independent, self directed professional who has always helped us meet our most demanding challenges with creative ideas and hard work. With his outstanding support we were able to address significant projects at multiple Fortune 500 companies. While his work has been nothing less than stellar, Balaji has also become a close friend to many of us at Zend. We pride ourselves on our corporate values and close partner ecosystem; Balaji remains a critical piece of the Zend community and our delivery team. I look forward to working with Balaji on many future engagements.

I worked together with Bala on a series of projects during my time at Optima. Not only is Bala very knowledgeable in web technology, he has great people skills, is a natural leader and possesses outstanding business acumen. Just as Bala has been a driving force in making Optima a competitive software development firm, he also continues to be key mentor in building my professional career. Bala is definitely a person who can bring amazing value to any team.

Bala is a detail oriented, extremely talented and subject matter expert professional. He can come up with innovative solutions to complex issues even while working under pressure situations. He's always fun to work with, there is a lot to learn and inherit from Bala. A very sincere and smart working person, who will go out of his way to get things done at the required moment. He will keep up the good spirits even in the most stressful situations. His positive attitude helps maintain camaraderie and team spirit. I would recommend to get yourself charged up with the knowledge when you are with him. It was pleasure working with him and I wish we could work together on his numerous innovative ideas that keep rolling in his brain.

Balaji was our Optima contact. He was always professional and friendly and provided great consultants. I would work with Balaji again any time . He always had a smile and a friendly word.

It was pleasure working with Balaji during my term as BI Consultant in HP where he managed more than a dozen consultant like me. He always carry himself with lot of professionalism, honesty and integrity. Very friendly person with humor and easy going. Very techie with great hands-on experience in Business Intelligence areas. I wish him all the very best.

During employment at FDNY, Balaji showed qualities of a highly professional employee and an exceptional manager. Balaji is a true leader, demonstrating a maturity and wisdom. He is highly courteous and sets high standards in delivering solutions. He is a person of principles, has a great attitude, supports and guides his colleagues during all times. His passion to change things and make a positive difference, his focus on detail and his overall competence as a leader are a few of his qualities that I would aspire to attain. His dedication is exceptional.

Bala is one of those rare finds when you enter and engage the world of outsourcing for application development. He is always more than willing to meet and discuss my concerns, and patiently works with me as my decisions are made. Yes he wants new business, but Bala's business integrity and professionalism always come first...meaning he put's the client first. In doing so, Bala contributes to the kind of relationship foundation that lasts through good and bad times. If the money was in my budget, I'd hire him in an instant.

I got a chance to work with Bala during his time at Optima while I was at The Univ. of Pennsylvania, off and on between 2007 and 2011. He and I worked extremely well together on two very different projects during that time. Bala is hard working and understands how to deploy the most current technologies in a business environment, providing clear and concise explanations for everything he proposes and does. I learned a lot while working as a peer with him.

One word- amazing! Bala, has brought a wealth of experience and ability to our team and helped to push our platform to the next level. I am extremely impressed with his technical knowhow but even more valuable is his critical thinking. We've spent many hours on the white-board together working through various business problems and he always seems to come up with very innovative solutions that fit within an early stage company budget. He is a fantastic addition to our team and is invaluable to HOW's success.
