Bio
Stephen Bell
It’s rare that you come across standout talent like Umar, someone who is really hard working and easy to talk to. I had the pleasure of working with Umar for over five years at Wandisco, he was a highly valued member of the team and help develop many of the processes we use today. He moved into a more automation focused role over a year ago and took up the challenge of learning new skills and coding language. Umar's ability to juggle multiple projects was impressive and made a dramatic difference in the productivity level of our team. No matter how tense a meeting, Umar made sure everyone left with a smile usually using some Simpson's quotes. Umar would be an asset to any team.

Umar is a top gun tester! He lives and breathes technology and is a great team player. He's very technically knowledgeable and a great person to work with. If there is something he doesn't know he becomes a subject matter expert pretty quickly. He's great at adapting to change and has a track record of being awesome!
