I've worked with Imran for over 4 years at CricHQ and it has been a pleasure. He is hardworking, loyal, professional and a very knowledgeable systems administrator. CricHQ servers were in good hands. Products and services were secure, scalable, with high uptime on a limited budget and resources.

I worked with Imran several years ago at one of my first jobs of the industry. He was extremely pleasant to work with and an excellent administrator. I learned a large amount from him and can definitely attribute my successes at least in part to what I learned from him. He really knows his stuff and I really look forward to the day I can work with him once again.
