"I had the pleasure of working with Obaid cross-functionally, where he served as a Software Engineer and I as a Overlay Control Engineer. Our collaboration was key in transforming functional designs into robust software applications, and I was consistently impressed by his approach. Obaid's honesty about his capabilities and his commitment to asking thorough questions truly stood out. When he joined the team, his proactive nature in seeking clarity significantly improved our delivery times and helped us consistently meet deadlines. This directness not only streamlined our workflow but also ensured a clear understanding of project requirements from the outset. He is exceptionally easy to work with, possessing a strong collaborative spirit, responsiveness, excellent communication skills, and a patient, adaptable, and proactive mindset. Beyond his technical skills, Obaid brings a positive attitude to the team and is always approachable and easy to talk to. Obaid is a valuable asset to any team, and I highly recommend him"

"Had the pleasure to have Obaid as part of my software engineering group. As software engineer, he contributed to very advanced software products in an extremely complex and challenging problem domain. I've got to know him as a very curious mind and strong communicator, often involved in inter-team alignment working towards a common goal. It would be fair to say that his contributions/impact went beyond just the software development role as he would also often step-up in volunteering for other roles like Scrum Master and Product Owner. Beyond developing software, I would also envision him doing well in these kinds of roles due to his strong communicative, inter-personal, and organizational skills. On top of his diverse skillset, I've also very much appreciated his positive, helpful and extremely respectful mindset"

He has shown himself pretty proactive and a problem solver, knowing how to use his energy in steering people in the right direction, in solving conflicts and in asking the right questions. Also, he has shown himself as a adaptable developer, working both with well known frameworks and private company-owned frameworks."

"As a software developer Obaid showed a high sense of responsibility and great willingness to learn and apply new software engineering skills. This made him a valuable team member. I also enjoyed his sense of humour. It's a pitty that he had to leave the team for an intership elsewhere."
