“I rarely come across real passionate talents who stand out like Mohammad. I had the pleasure both being a colleague and teammate working with Mohammad for nearly three years during my time at the University of Sydney, collaborating on several projects including control systems, mechanical design and manufacturing engineering. Mohammad's ability to handle multiple projects was unlike any I've seen before, and he made a dramatic increase in the productivity of the projects. No matter how tense a project was, Mohammad made sure everyone left with a smile. As a team member or a leader, Mohammad earns my highest recommendation.”
