Bio
Chris McEvilly
Sufiyan is an exceptional network engineer always willing to go the extra mile to help either by sharing his knowledge or sorting out complex networking issues. With extensive knowledge of networking communications especially large Telco networks, skilled at troubleshooting with a deep knowledge of CDNs, Service Provider Peering and transit connection, and data center design. He is always approachable and happy to go the extra mile to assist and I don’t recall any situation where he didn't show proactiveness and innovative approach to creating solutions to address challenges. In definitive, he is very professional, with a good technical background combined with a customer focus. As a colleague and friend Syfiyan has my highest recommendation and I wish him every success.

In the 3+ years Sufiyan and I have worked as teammates, he has proven himself to be an exemplary network engineer and peer. There have been no circumstances throughout that he has not succeeded or excelled, and I cannot express enough how reliable, affable and gifted he truly is. Without exaggeration I can honestly say I've never seen anyone work as hard, or be more dedicated to their career. No matter what time of day, it seemed he was always available and willing to help. This has a huge lasting impression and my confidence in him is without measure. He not only oversaw the deployment of dozens of edge networking deployments throughout the globe, but assisted with internal projects, additional external deployments and projects, and too many team-centric activities to mention. EXCELLENT work, he would (and will) be an incredibly impactful addition to any team 👍👍👍
