    Manu built a new site for us using Joomla 3.9, with a brief to replicate exactly an outdated site - which still relied on Joomla 1.5 - as a foundation for further development. The work was done quickly, with great attention to detail. I would certainly look to work with Manu again on further Joomla projects.

    I had the pleasure of collaborating with Mr. Beladevan, Manu (Web Programmer, E-commerce and CMS) for over two years, and in this span I've seen his exceptional abilities to effortlessly handle multiple critical projects efficiently. He has been a great engineering lead for mostly two reasons - i) He has been available to his team seamless, and vocal about his team's efforts and asks to get the production rolling, ii) The unique trait of staying up to date with technology. Manu has made his presence felt in the ecosystem by being ethical and truthful with the business and team he is part of. I'm sure this will take him a long way in his career.
