Pradeep Gopal

I have had the great fortune of working on some truly inspiring projects while networking with many influential and creative individuals along the way. I believe in the power of working together to create a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts. I love working on challenging problems and a fast-moving, dynamic culture is incredibly important to me, as I believe responding quickly to changes, potential issues, and opportunities is key to success.

I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to work for some amazing professionals..! Here’s what they got to say about me:  

“Pradeep is always trying to make everything better..”

“One of the brightest minds I’ve seen, Pradeep is always trying to make everything better. He is very innovative and ambitious and has developed several highly valuable software and firmware modules for almost all of the product development projects at Fabheads. He has pleasantly surprised me and the other department heads several times with the speed and quality of the codes he developed. He is an absolutely wonderful asset to have in any company!”

“Pradeep never fails to surprise you with his work..”

“Pradeep never fails to surprise you with his work, he manages to achieve great results with limited resources. He has done several impressive works while he was working with us. He is a keen learner and natural at it. He has helped us develop several innovative features for our machines and though I don’t have any expertise in his domain, he’s managed me to make me understand several concepts that I wanted to know about. He is good at imparting knowledge. He is tech-savvy and he’s got a great future ahead of him. I used to tell that he will rock silicon valley one day, haha, definitely would place my bets on him. Pradeep, I wish you the very best to work on things that would one day make a difference to the world. Heads up, he is certainly a resource you wouldn’t want to miss. I wish you the very best. Stay blessed, Keep Moving.”
