I know Hashir from my time at VisionX. Hashir is a young and Smart Android developer, A hard-working individual, and a fast learner, Hashir is highly competent and has a knack to identify critical issues because of the corner cases which developers usually forget to handle. He is a highly motivated, dedicated, and hardworking professional on whom you can rely on any kind of challenging task. He is always open to learn new technologies as well.
- From a team member at VisionX
I had the opportunity of working with Hashir during his time in VisionX. His continuous drive to learn made him one of the key members of team in such a short period of time. Because of his passion to stay up-to-date at all times, he was my go to guy for any new technique which was still in the Alpha stage. Hashir has a great work ethic. He takes ownership of his work and doesn't shy away from extra responsibility.
- From a senior product manager at VisionX
Hashir worked with me for over 1.5 years and during that time i was amazed by how he evolved himself from a beginner to an expert in Android Development. Apart from the cooperative and hardworking nature, i always liked how he dives deep in any task assigned to him. I believe his eagerness for gaining knowledge and learning new things will always add value to any organization he works for.
