I have worked with Yousuf for more than 10 years and I am highly impressed with his two major capabilities (1) a solution oriented approach always brought a great contribution in the project. (2) A very effective project management using state-of-the-art time and cost estimation tools. Due to his highly dedicated and professional attitude as a project manager, the technical team in the project obtained many direct and indirect benefits.
