Bio
Iftikhar Ul Hassan
We have studied together and I've seen Imran as a very sharp minded programmer and very good learner. He used to notice very minor details of problems which we usually skip. He was very cooperative and helpful. He was used to describe problems in a very simple yet very effective ways. He was the guy who never said no in helping others. He was very intelligent and used to think out of the box. He was very humble and very polite towards all his classmates. He was good listener and was always ready to accept better ideas on solving problems. I wish him best of luck in his future.
