I've worked with numerous IT professionals over the years, but have to say Mohamed is one that really stood out for me. In his role as Senior project manager, Mohamed managed his own projects as well as provided oversight to other projects under the umbrella of the PMO. Among Mohamed's best character traits include: - Intelligence - Patience - Kindness - Dedication - Confidence If given the opportunity, I would work with Mohamed again in a heartbeat, he's an instant asset to any team he joins. I recommend Mohamed to anyone considering him for a position, you won't be disappointed. Ken LeBlanc

I had the privilege to have Mohamed in my team in 2020 and 2021 as a Senior Project Manager. Mohamed is an outstanding individual with whom I can fully trust and delegate important and complex tasks. He has great expertises in all aspects of project management including but not limited to vendor, time, budget and resources management. Mohamed delivers tasks on time as promised. Risk identification is another area where Mohamed shines. Risks are well identified, documented and mitigated appropriately. Mohamed always anticipates items that need to be tackled. What distinguishes Mohamed from others is his exceptional personality. Mohamed is very calm, professional and was appreciated by everyone. I feel very fortunate to have worked with Mohamed and would love to cross paths with him again.
