Khaleel has a great amount of working knowledge within the networking field and in particular Cisco products ranging from SME level right through to MSP environments which he routinely brought to bear on the projects he contributed to.

He understands the importance of documentation and excels in producing the right level of information for the intended audience. He has demonstrated great communication skills, interpersonal skills and relationship management skills in ensuring the right outcome is achieved to meet business needs.
