Peer Reviews from around the world

Gaël Oliveres

General Manager at Aleph (Malaysia)

Any team would be lucky to have Absar within it. His grasp of Agile methodologies mixed with his ability to motivate, mentor and improve teams has been a key assets for our project deliveries. I've always enjoyed chatting with him and planning our next steps, seeking ways to constantly improve, and building a team for the future. Hope our paths will cross once again in the near future!

Jacintha Phua

Head of Product at GSC

"Syed was a valuable advisor throughout our 6-month project, and we successfully delivered a blockchain application for a Fortune 500 company. His personal guidance for me (as scrum master) as well as our remote team of developers, enabling us to working in an agile manner, implement scrum effectively, and always provided great insights on how to manage issues that arise or avoid pitfalls."

Selvaganesh Thirugnanasambandam

Scrum Master [Project Manager] with Digital Banking and Telco Domain

Absar is a muscular Agile man with strong SDLC. We worked together in a couple of projects and I’m impressed with his agile process set-up and implementation. I enjoyed working with him and he is a good mentor to me. Also, holding the position of head of delivery to our aleph projects, he made fantastic progress. He is an Agile coach and a good team builder. I wish to work with him in the future and believe our path will cross again.

Omar Almajali

Strategy Project Manager at Digital Dubai (ex-Smart Dubai)

Syed is a great guy to work with from both a social and a professional perspective. He is a natural leader, always willing to take on a challenge, doesn't think twice about helping and mentoring others, and doesn't shy away from leadership roles. For someone who is supposedly an introvert at some point in his life, Syed's outgoing personality is evidence of someone who constantly works on themselves, and never stop developing.
