Pedram was a fantastic addition to our small team at Grumo Media. He came just in time when things started to get busy and was instrumental to help me alleviate some of my responsibilities. Pedram was reliable, detailed oriented, and always did his best to make clients happy and delivery projects in time. Pedram was a pleasure to work with and his great attitude and professionalism will always be missed at Grumo!

The first impression that I had after meeting him for the first time was a very genuine and honest person with high level of integrity. He has been busy with several related fields during past few years. Each time I have spoken with him, I was impressed by his enthusiasm and depth of knowledge. I am looking forward to working with him in future. Go Pedram, Go :)
