Mehul has not understood the assignment after repeated instructions. He also did not understood my time constraints for the first few weeks of the engagement.

He has produced work that is mostly worthless and the search feature, the core of the assignment where almost all the time is logged, looks different after about 20 hours of work but the functionality has not changed significantly.

Mehul is not grasping the search concept even with hotel.com's search as a clear model. His prototype is so far off the concept that I have to end the assignment and try another coder.

I warned him at least twice that I'm frustrated and he needs to improve. His response is always gracious but I need to see improvement.

I have been working with programmers in app dev since 1982. I have had a successful experience with an oDesk provider other than he quit working the hours needed so he could attend college.

I wish Mehul well in his studies and hope that he can learn from this experience. He really needs good mentoring and supervised work experience. I'm sure he will be a fine programmer soon.

Hello,

Mehul Dobariya will start the job when he says he will start the job. This is a good thing.
Most sites nowadays are done in tableless layouts using css however my site was being built using tables.

This is something i was very disappointed about. Mehul did acknowledge my request to change it to tableless layouts which is a good thing but i have seen tables still in the code. I feel unsure about this developers knowledge on tableless layouts hence my reason why i have terminated this early.

I was polite throughout the conversation and acted professional at all times however I did find him to be rude and cheeky but that maybe because we use english differently. This is something we both acknowledge and had put aside. He did acknowledge this and took action which something that was good.

Also note that while he did say that he is not a designer and is a backend developer the psd file was provided so minimal designing was required. The PSD file i provided and the site he created were not a match and hence another reason why i have terminated this early. This person may be more suited for php and mysql ajax work but not for css.

Unfortunately he is not suited for my project but maybe suited for yours. I wish the best for this developer and hope that this helps you as well.

Ben
