"I had been working with Shafie for two years on a big software implementation project. Shafie
was a leader of migration of funds to a new platform; he was responsible for business & gap
analysis, defining requirements and testing. I can absolutely recommend Shafie for a project lead
or business analyst role. He has a strong knowledge of fund accounting, but his major strength is
the ability to deal with people. Even in conflict situations he remains very polite, constructive and
patient; his positive attitude leads to very good project results. I hope to work with him again in
future!"
