Vaibhav Sahgal

“In the short time that Vaibhav worked for me he demonstrated a unique combination of skill and intensity that allowed him to approach every problem that faced him with an admirable zeal. He adapted quickly to the hi5 environment and came to understand how the core issues of scalability and performance should inform his design decisions. He also understood, better than most, the balance that needs to be struck between the desires of the users and the core needs of the business. Given the option, I would work with him again, without question.”

“Vaibhav worked with a small focus team and was a pivotal contributor to helping achieve an internal goal of 50 million monthly active Unique Visitors for hi5, an increase of nearly 20% from where we started, which the team achieved in roughly 10 weeks. He has contributed key insights from a usability perspective and has also been a vocal contributor during design and strategy phases. Vaibhav also shows great initiative, diving into areas such as hi5 Groups and Profile Comments which he saw were getting less attention than they perhaps deserved due to resource constraints and taking them under his wing voluntarily, showcasing a deep sense of personal responsibility toward his user base which was consistently inspiring. Vaibhav works hard, has a great attitude, provides great insights, and repeatedly hits goals. I look forward to hopefully working with him again down the road.”
