Over Mili's time at Ember he managed and built a big chunk of our website. I worked closely with him on numerous website related projects during that time and was always impressed by his ability to solve any problem thrown at him. He then moved to the Product team and did some great work in one of our biggest feature releases to date. He's also a great team player, has a very positive attitude and is always keen to improve and find ways to make his work more efficient. Mili will be an asset to any team and will make an impact on anyone he works with!
