Bio
Brian Freeman, PhD, PE
It was an honor to work with Shah and I am looking forward to follow-on assignments with him. His patience, common sense, and technical skills were essential to completing our very technically and logistically challenging project. His reliability and loyalty to the team were equally important. Together we were able to develop new analytical techniques for geospatial analysis that will be published soon in peer reviewed journals.

I have had the chance to work with Faisal and my strongest impression of him is how he champions good business ethics and practices within the organization he works for. He sets high benchmarks for professional integrity and is committed in getting things done the right and proper way. His ability to remain calm and completely in focus when faced with barriers and difficulties (in work) is a special trait that he posses. Faisal does not give up easily but strives on persistently to resolve the problems and bottlenecks.His team leading skills and Geo-spatial technology experience couples together to make him a true professional ideal for any organization. I wish him all the best of luck for his future works and ongoing activities.
