“The Microsoft Learn Student Ambassador program was introduced to our university by Zahid. His initiative ignited the spirit of volunteerism and emphasized the importance of giving back to the community. I first interacted with him during the interview process, which he was conducting to select core team members for the community. I was immediately struck by the vision and clarity he possessed. He had a detailed plan for leading the society and a clear understanding of what was needed for its success. As a member of the core team, I collaborated closely with Zahid and found him to be confident, hardworking, and adaptable. He pioneered various departments, including graphic design, marketing, and technology. He organized cross-functional meetings, where departments would collaborate, share their plans, and address challenges. Under his leadership and guidance, our community expanded rapidly. We introduced numerous tech experts and facilitated learning opportunities for students across various technologies. Whether it was public speaking or technical workshops, Zahid played a crucial role in the community's growth and progress. Beyond his commitment to the community, Zahid is an outstanding student, consistently ranking among the top in terms of GPA. He possesses expertise in various web, mobile, and cloud technologies and has even published a research paper in the IEEE ICIC conference. Zahid is immensely talented and will undoubtedly be a valuable asset to any team or project.”

“I've known Zahid Ali for 4 years as we journeyed together through our computer science program. From day one until our graduation, Zahid showcased dedication, adaptability, and a deep understanding of the field. Notably, he was among the top three students in our CS department. We collaborated on numerous projects, delving into areas like web development, machine learning, and IoT. His grasp over these domains was always evident. One of our significant milestones was during our final semester when we presented our IoT research paper, 'Smart Gloves for Women Safety', at the IEEE ICIC conference. This endeavor was a testament to our joint vision of creating tech solutions with real-world impact. Our final year project on "Text to Image Synthesis Using Generative Adversarial Neural Network (GAN)" was another highlight, earning us an A+ and emphasizing our shared commitment to research. But what stands out about Zahid is his vision beyond the classroom. Recognizing a void in tech representation on campus, he pioneered the formation of tech communities. His efforts ensured that everyone, including women, had a platform to learn, share, and collaborate. Today, thanks to him, communities like the Microsoft and Amazon Web Services are active and thriving on our campus. Furthermore, his initiative to integrate Coursera courses has enriched the skill sets of over 500 fellow students. In summary, Zahid Ali isn't just a proficient software engineer. He's a community builder, a collaborator, and an advocate for inclusive learning. Key attributes that stand out include: - Technical Proficiency - Collaboration - Continuous Learner - Inclusivity I genuinely believe that Zahid will be an invaluable asset to any team or project, blending technical acumen with a heart for community.”
