Bio
Bart DeCanne
I worked with Umair for about 2 years at Maxim. He was hired initially as college intern and we noticed quickly he was the kind of dedicated, hard-working and well organized individual we wanted to have on the team full-time so, once he graduated, we hired into a full-time position. Recommended. Bart

I've known Muhammed for the past 2.5yrs and during this time, we've worked on a few prototypes that revolved around Maxim's line of haptics controllers. He executed beyond my expectations - including preparing customized firmware based on a brief behavior description a few times. He's technically very sharp, an excellent communicator, and always delivered faster than our expectation. Working with him over this period of time has been a pleasure. I highly recommend Muhammad.
