Vikas worked on a website project for me in 2006. He was very diligent and hard working and met difficult deadlines. He is extremely knowledgeable and very conscientious in his work.Nothing was ever too much trouble for him, and his input into our project was very valuable. I found him a pleasure to work with and would be more than happy to work with him again in the future. I wish him every success in the future as I'm sure his knowledge and skills will take him far.

Since 2018 | FindMyGov.in
A personal project which started as a form of activism. The project geolocates the visitor in India and presents it with all the elected and appointed staff that belons to that location. It helps the visitor with direct contact details like email address and phone numbers of the government staff. It is a means to help citizens take control of their own staff that is supposed to be working for the benefit of the citizens. Since most citizens in the country don’t know much about the staff responsible for any of their civic problems, it tries to bridge the gap. I collect this information from all public sources and websites. I also fetch this info through RTI (Right To Information). It is an on-going project. It heavily relies of massive amount of data that is shown correctly based of village/ward/city/districrt and state levels. The project was written in PHP Framework Yii 1 and now migrated to Yii 2.x. It is operating in 6 different languages with the help of gettext.
