I worked with Mr. Shahid on a number of challenging data-center design and enhancement projects during the 3 years that I worked under him in PRAL. I found him to be highly articulate, both as a manager as well as a bridge between clients and technical teams. Mr. Shahid is a very hardworking and dedicated individual with an excellent attitude. He has demonstrated his leadership while we worked on a migration project of one of the big data-center in Pakistan. His is an asset and a true gem and above all a great team leader.

Mr. Shahid is very detailed-oriented and produced great results for the company.
