Testimonials

I'm pleased to recommend Aref, whom I managed directly. Although he came with 7 years of .NET experience, he ramped up on Golang extremely fast and quickly became a key contributor. During our six months working together on a procurement project, he consistently delivered clean, high-quality backend code and showed a strong ability to understand our business domain. Aref is reliable, fast-learning, and a great teammate. He would be an asset to any engineering team.

Ali Janalizadeh

Team Lead @ System Group

Aref not only possesses theoretical knowledge and academic background on AI and deep learning, but he's also a very good AI engineer. In the AI Development Empowerment team of System Group, he delivered high-quality projects in a very short period of time. His work directly enhanced the productivity of more than 400 engineers and 40+ teams, and indirectly accelerated the quality of our ERP software with tens of thousands of business customers. Aref is a very fun person to work with and also a very good teacher. His thirst for knowledge and learning more stood out from the first moment I met him. He listens carefully, analyzes the solutions by thinking out of the box, and implements them as a true overachiever while being modest.
