Zahrain is truly a subject-matter expert in end-to-end (E2E) network architecture, routing design, IP planning and strategy. I have been consistently impressed with his leadership during the time we have worked together. He is a reliable mentor and possessed tremendous creativity when it comes to 5G transport strategic planning as well as able to match excellently with the current standards. Surely, his capability is a must-have for any organisation.
