I want to take a moment to celebrate Rahil's great work and dedication. In a very short period, Rahil was able to develop a quick and comprehensive prototype to solve very complex UX and business problems.

I presented the work to the senior leadership and the feedback we've got, from 15 different senior stakeholders, was a consensus of major satisfaction with the quality and speed of the deliverable.
