Tapan helped us a lot and provided a high quality work, showing a very appreciable reactivity. We will definitely work with him again in the future.

I have an extensive networking background but I have a Azure networking project coming up and I have no experience. Tapan was excellent. From his modest first messages I thought I may only get 25-50% of what I hoped to accomplish in my learning lab but the first session he got me to 50% of where I wanted to be and I feel confident the next session or two will get me to where I want to be. I know what I needed was not coding as he seems very skilled but for me the Azure help is what I needed and he was patient and very thorough in his explanation and mentoring. Great mentor.

He is good with k8 and does pause for discussion of new topics. Will reach him in the future for docker, helm and k8 issues.

Tapan was awesome!!!! I spent over $200 with an "expert" previously. Tapan was 100x better!!!! Tapan was able to help me with my problem MUCH better and had a MUCH better solution. I will definitely use Tapan in the future for anything Kubernetes or CI/CD related.

I was having issues building an Azure DevOps pipeline to deploy to an elastic beanstalk environment. Tapan and I had a quick meeting so I could show him the issue. He then asked me if he could do some research and resume the meeting later. When we resumed the meeting, he had the issue resolved in a half hour. Very happy with the result and will use him again the next time I am stuck.

Tapan was very helpful and to the point. He helped me setup my Azure DevOps CI. His instructions were clear. He asked questions to find out what I was trying to do, and received information that I volunteered well. Helped me think out my own plan and addressed my concerns. Very collaborative. Very friendly and knows his stuff.

Worked on migrating the monolithic application backend to microservice paradigm, breaking the nodejs backend into smaller, isolated microservices. Worked on containerising them using Docker. Setup dev, staging and production clusters on Microsoft Azure, previously using Rancher 1.0 (cattle orchestration engine), then migrating to kubernetes. Setup multi-stage CI/CD pipelines on Azure devops for both frontend (reactjs based) and backend microservices. Shifted the frontend to Azure web-app, and implemented asynchronous periodic backend functions using kubeless functions.
