Nikhil Kushwah

Arani Bhattacharya Assistant Professor, Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology Delhi

I have worked closely with Nikhil kushwah for over a year on optimizing cellular network connectivity. Nikhil was a student in my Operating Systems (OS) class, where I found his programming skills to be impressive. After finishing the course, he requested to be involved in a research or engineering project. I had some ongoing projects with a startup named LinkQuest Technologies Ltd. This project aimed to identify and correct the configuration of the cell towers after identifying the problems in cell tower coverage. Nikhil was able to successfully parse the data, identify the problem areas in coverage and then show it in a format that LinkQuest wanted. This required him to parse through a lot of documentation to understand the concepts of cellular networks. It also required him to rapidly acquire familiarity with utilizing data science techniques such as clustering, discretization, and running complex database queries. Nikhil did all this as part of his BTech project and received an A grade for this work. Based on his excellent work ethic, programming skills, and cooperative attitude with the other research and industry team members, I have no hesitation in recommending his name for the software developer role.

It is my pleasure to recommend Nikhil Kushwah for the position of software engineer. I have known him for the last six months. He is exceptionally well in research project, coding, and software development. Above all, he is a humble and approachable person who loves to share his extensive knowledge with others. He is highly committed to his work and can take up any innovative and challenging task. We have been collaboratively working together on a project entitled “Path Planning Approach to Minimize Cost of Measuring Performance of Cell Towers”. I had the opportunity to view his technical and presentational skills under this research project. In addition, we are currently focusing on solving a variety of research problems on path planning tasks. He has a natural curiosity, a keen sense of observation, and a desire to learn.
