Nabeel Akhtar is a Founder and CEO at Techwards. He possess expertise in embedded systems, software development, embedded software, c, software engineering and 33 more skills. He is proficient in English and Urdu. Colleagues describe him as "Imagine a small startup with a great idea and some funding. They are looking for the right development team to outsource to to quickly turn their idea into a product. The startup takes a look around and reduces options to a few different organizations. They give each organizations two but significant challenges, a development exercise and an approach to a problem. One of them stands out for a few reasons: - Communication - Transparency and honesty - Creativity and approach - The startup decides on this one. - The project starts. There's a large ramp up to get the project going quickly then the team settles to a core set of expertise. As the sprints and the releases go by, the development team becomes more and more invested in the project. Scrums with the startup include ideas, test designs offered by the devs themselves, many of which the startup ends up incorporating into the product. Prototype: 90 days. MVP: 6 months. This is what we experienced with Techwards. In my long career I've never experienced such a sweet combination of speed, execution and creativity as with our Techwards developers. Reach out to me if you're considering them and I can tell you more." and "I have seen Nabeel work both as Director of Engineering and as Sr. Principal Engineer at Symantec. As a Sr. Principal Engineer he was my reporting manager. Nabeel has a very people friendly approach, he goes extra mile to reach out to his team member and builds strong relationship with his team. At a point key people in Karachi office left. This included team leads and HR manager. Nabeel stepped out of his comfort zone, and assumed a leadership role, reached out to all the teams and was accepted as a natural leader. He was promoted to Director of Engineering for Karachi and offered a Seat at the table with decision makers in Mountain View - Symantec Headquarter. Having a strong academic background, Nabeel understands and grasps the technological aspect of the job very well. He is as active participant in technical meetings as any other technical lead. Nabeel has an aptitude of building a strong team, this starts with hiring the right people. I would highly recommend Nabeel for any technical/managerial leadership position."
