What clients say
Feedback from long-term clients across remote engagements and Upwork contracts.
“Shoeb is an amazing, first-rate senior engineer / architect. I have worked with him for full time for over 5 years, and I hope to be able to work with him again in the future. His skills, passion for technology, and problem solving skills are top notch, and he would be an amazing addition to any project or team. He is also constantly growing as an engineer - it has been amazing to watch his skills grow over the past 5+ years, and it is very clear that he always wants to make sure he is always growing as both a person and engineer. Shoeb is always able to take product specs and run with them, creating high-quality, well tested software. His ability to translate requirements into a great product are amazing. I have worked in software engineering for 20+ years, both as an engineer / architect myself and as a manager, and I can say without doubt that Shoeb is one of the top engineers I have worked with. On top of his technical abilities he is also a great team player, easy to work with, and extremely humble (which is very rare for an engineer of this quality) I HIGHLY recommend and endorse Shoeb for any project or technical role, and I know you will be delighted in working with him.”
“Shoeb has been an excellent asset to our company and we enjoyed working with him for several years now. He had an important role in many of our products and he helped us achieve our goals. He showed high knowledge with various web technologies, including php, javascript, and css. Our projects also used various php and javascript frameworks (such as zend framework & backbone.js) and Shoeb easily managed to dive in into those frameworks.”
“We have used a number of oDesk providers over the last 5 years. Mr. Shoeb is by far, the best programmer we have ever had the pleasure to work with. He was able to pick up a very difficult, complex project (in the middle of the process) and complete it for us as the lead member of a team with individuals located in Chicago, New York, Mexico and Bangladesh. This was not easy; there was code in place that needed a lot of work and a long list of new functions that needed implemented. We are so pleased with the quality and stability of the code and the timely manner he completed each task. When the workload grew, Mr. Shoeb was able to secure an additional PHP/Zend programmer on oDesk with the same high level of skill and dedication.This was critical to completing the project. We recommend him with the highest praise. We will be using him on an on-going basis to help us with additional functionality. As the primary client and manager on this project, Mr. Shoeb can always provide a prospective oDesk client with my email address if you would like more information on him”
