Ascent360

During our annual in-person kickoff earlier this month, a few team members were recognized by our leadership team and their peers across a few different categories: Employee's Choice, MVP, and Hero of the Year. Over the next couple of weeks, we'll be featuring each of the winners, starting today with our Employee's Choice award winner, Pramod Dudhagundi. 🏆 Pramod has been a valued member of Ascent360 since April 2018. As the Senior Architect and Developer, he specializes in designing and developing innovative applications and cloud solutions. He also works extensively on integrating a wide variety of systems to create seamless, scalable solutions that empower our clients and help drive their success. Anyone who has had the pleasure of working with Pramod would agree that he is a joy to work with - his passion for the work we do, his innovative thinking and his willingness to help his team are just some of the reasons he was awarded the Employee's Choice. From all of us at Ascent360, thank you Pramod for everything you do to drive our company and our clients forward.
