Ajaya was the company's second full time employee, and he has been a dedicated and talented worker from the very beginning. In a company where we tend to get alot of customer accolades, Ajaya is the leading recipient of customer appreciation and recognition. He has been working on the Impala project almost since its inception, and is now the primary brains and lifeline behind its day to day operation. Ajaya is a quiet, hardworking guy, who is always willing and able to help, and everyone knows they can count on him. Ajaya lives in CT with his wife and daughter - and if you have a chance to sample his wife's cooking, don't miss it!

Ravi came in a few months after Ajaya, and he has probably worked on more projects than anyone in the company. Ravi has worked on consulting teams and on internal products; in CT and in MA, in pharmaceuticals and also in retail systems. He has a broad knowledge base and has proved his skills and flexibility time and time again by always being ready and able to do what is needed for the company. Having done great work on such a broad cross section of TS projects, Ravi is an extremely valuable part of the Tourtellotte Solutions organization. One thing you notice right away about Ravi is that he always has a very positive attitude and an infectious smile - its hard not to feel good about things when you are talking to him. Ravi lives in MA with his wife and son.

Jeremy also joined TS in 2001, and has worked on a variety of consulting projects always with great success. Jeremy is an extremely diligent and thorough worker, who quickly makes himself expert in any technology and subject matter that he is working with. I recall the time when we first interviewed Jeremy, and he was asked a very difficult technical question. He paused and thought about it, casually wrote the answer on the whiteboard, looked at it, and said "I think its something like this...". At that point we knew we had a technical ace, and no further questions were asked. Like Ravi and Ajaya, Jeremy is one of the nicest guys you could ever meet. He is always willing to help, and usually quite able to do so. Jeremy has historically been the company gaming ringleader, introducing us to such titles as Settlers of Cataan and Munchkin, resulting in many hours of fun for all of us.

Thanks for a great 5 years, guys, you are all awesome.
