Jigar was heading up the frontend, Project was a bit of a rollercoaster, to be honest. But Jigar, he’s got this way of just figuring things out. Sees problems coming, and when things got messy, he’d find a way through. He definitely doesn’t give up easy. We hit our deadline, and he was a big part of why.
