Starting the year on DirecTV he was selected to transfer into the Darwin project to support the highly complex and challenging Player component. Demonstrating excellent reactivity he quickly learned the ropes and showed great pragmatism and resilience in leading the profiling of the code under very noisy and difficult project pressures. Given his obvious enthusiasm and ability in tackling new areas Asim was the logical choice for support to an MTG project where, again, his dedication and technical ability were key to the eventual success. In short he has thrown himself into everything he has been asked to do this year and the results have spoken for themselves" Show less
