Bio
Arlene Ogden, PMP
I worked with Zafar at a very complex client in Houston. There were many facets to the engagement and Zafar stepped in and demonstrated his flexibility, agility, and technical expertise. He took on the challenges and demonstrated his calm demeanor, technical leadership, and cloud architect acumen.

Zafar is a top notch Senior Cloud Data Architect consultant! While working with Zafar over the past few years, and multiple different projects, the feedback from team members has been that he is extremely knowledgeable, easy to communicate with, and genuinely invests his all! He goes above and beyond to integrate into client teams and a true joy to partner with on all engagements. I highly recommend Zafar for any cloud data architecture project and know that you are bringing on a trusted advisor with additional expertise in client communication!
Brandon Lindley
I have worked with many professionals throughout my journey, but Zafar was a unique one to work. I started my work journey with him over a year ago, and he helped me understand the company’s internal process. His work ethics are excellent, and he is easily adjustable to a given situation. His ability to go out of his way to help others has made him stand out as well as his constant attention to detail. Thanks a lot my friend! You made a lot of transitions easier to understand and gave great context with confidence.
