Umar Farooqi, PMP®

I have known Essam since last 15 years. He is a hard working, self motivated & intelligent engineer and a manager. His work is of high quality and demonstrates superior planning skills. He is one of those people that you can trust to take on whatever responsibility a project team needs. I strongly recommend Essam as a top-notch engineer and a manager, who I believe will be an asset to any project team or firm. He is an asset to any business. I wish him all the best.
