“I worked with Ikram for almost my full tenure in EnterpriseDB, appx. 5 yrs. I found him very dedicated and hard working person. He has worked on designing and executing testcases for Migration Toolkit, Clone schema, Migration Portal and replication related projects. His great technical skillset of databases, Oracle, Postgres and various testing methodology has helped us ship a good quality products for our customers. Ikram got good dive deep skill as well which he demonstrated time to time. If any Oracle feature or Postgres feature is new to him, he ensured to go deep in the topic, cover all the usecases and test the developed feature for all identified use cases. His early engagements in product designing and feature designing has helped us uncover many corner uses cases and that is all because of his subject matter expertise and passion for technology. He always believes in delivering value to customers. While as a QA he used to take a stand for his point and make sure developers fix the raised bugs, all developers in team loved to work with him. He jelled up very well with everyone in the team and had been very much approachable & helpful to all others. He did played a role of scrum master as well in parallel, in which he ensured the team and project was making progress on daily basis and all impediments stands resolved as soon as possible. He made sure the team follows all the scrum ceremonies and encourage them to take active participation in PBR, Sprint planning, Scrums or retrospectives. From a distance, he worked as a team coach as well. He helped everyone in team to make progress in their career and professional front. He used to guide and mentor whenever needed and be like a teacher at times. I am sure, anyone hiring Ikram would be fortunate to have passionate (very important), dedicated and hard working team member in the team. I wish him very best luck for his future endeavours.”

“Quality comes at the cost of full committment, hard work and expertise on the subject matter. And no doubt, Ikram has never compromised when it comes to delivering quality work irrespecitve of the complexity of the assigned task. During his stay at EDB, he made many valuable contributions in the data migration and replication domain, the most prominent being the EDB Migration Portal. He played a key role to help make Migration Portal a stable and performant online migration service. In his lead role, he was phenomenal to drive the execution of test plans to ensure timely and quality releases. He is always passionate to learn new technologies and take on new challenges. This helped in adoption of new test automation trends to reduce the manual testing efforts and speed up the release delivery. With a very humble and cool-minded attitude, he is readily available to help his peers. I feel honoured to work with such a capable fellow.”
