Mujahid and I worked together on the same Data Engineering team for almost two years. Together, we built real-time streaming applications as well as web tracking data pipelines. I have got to know him as an ambituous yet humble person who is a treat to work with and a pleasure to talk with beyond working matters. A consummate professional, who will work on a problem until he has found a solution. Quick to pick up new concepts and eager to improve himself by having an eye on emerging technologies. Mujahid will be a great addition to your engineering team on a professional and a personal level.

One of the values on our data team was “constant improvement,” and I’ve never seen anyone embrace and embody that philosophy like Mujahid. During the one year we’ve worked together, I’ve watched him constantly look for new challenges to tackle, whether it’s getting to the root of bugs in the Snowplow pipeline, writing automation scripts for the data model, or leading the development of our streaming applications. I've also known him as a friend to date, and we have a great time outdoors. His humor, his symbolic chai and his breathtaking photography lightens up your world. I’ve loved my experience working with Mujahid, and I know that anyone looking to hire or work with him will, too.
