Allen Ngorora
Reporting to Afzal was never a pain. I like the fact that he took the team's opinions seriously and would always act in the best interest of the team. This is why I wouldn't mind working with him in the future again. Besides leading the team, he was also very inspirational. As a developer I always aspired to reach his level of brilliance because there was never a technical challenge that he didn't have a solution for. As an advocate he always made sure our grievances reached the relevant people and therefore he would make sure career progression was definite. One thing I am still wondering about him is whether he has the same hours in a day as everybody else because he was always way ahead of everyone in the tech team.
