Bio
Shaiyan Ahmad Shaikh
Waqas is a diligent, hard-working and highly valuable person to have on your team. He inspires, leads with sound logic, and comprehensively covers all corners. I worked in parallel with Waqas as another development team lead in a fast-paced and intense delivery ecosystem, where he solved problems which were technically complex. Every decision made for the applications we were delivering had significant impact on multiple other areas of the platform, and each time we could count on Waqas to point them out and suggest a more tailored approach. Above all, Waqas is a friendly person who prioritizes transparency and establishing clarity for all involved in the objective, no matter how big or small.
Ashley Mariappan
Waqas brings all his skills and abilities to table as a manager. He is well organised, analytical, goal orientated, diligent, and a fast learner. All these attributes were critical when trying to inspire the team to do their best to build client pool and serve the client needs. Waqas deliveries were always very well executed, on time and flawless. He is very creative, hands-on, and he always went the extra mile and found great ways to quickly solve problems. He is the guy to go to when you need help with and is always open to discuss ideas and suggestions. His contributions were really valuable to the company. I highly recommend Waqas as a Product Manager and would love to work together again.
