        I had the opportunity working with Aadesh when he was a resident engineer supporting Sprint's IP/MPLS network. He was always responsive and was eager to go extra miles to perform tests and resolve problems. Aadesh will be a great asset to any technical organization.

        Aadesh Sharma worked as a Juniper Resident Engineer on the IP Network Development team I managed at Sprint.   Aadesh was a key contributor in introducing a Juniper based nationwide Ethernet network built to flexibly and cost effectively support Sprint’s wireless traffic.  He is an extremely talented and strong network engineer, who worked hand in hand with his Sprint counterparts to collaboratively deliver on designing and building this network from scratch.  Aadesh did a great job at coming up with innovative ideas for the implementation, and was also an excellent resource who engaged Juniper Product Management and the Business Unit on our behalf when needed.  He was a diligent and hard working team member, who quickly responded to our requests no matter the hour or day.  Aadesh is a really good guy too, and was just what we needed team wise when he was assigned to our project.  I really enjoyed my time working with Aadesh and highly recommend him as a subject matter expert and as a leader.
