During his business trip at the client side, Samer was instrumental in embedding Onyx as a Murex satellite system for various business units of the Investment Office by addressing their significant UAT needs. With a few competing products in the mix, Samer was able to get a consensus from Stake-holders to use ONYX as the test suite for the various Mx deliveries towards the 3.1.29.x upgrade. Samer presented demos of ONYX to various Business Units and conducted hands-on workshop for the Murex IT team and promoted best practices for Murex Test Management. He was able to tailor the live demos in response to pain points raised by Business Units and helped the IT team automate the UI test cases of interest. Samer worked with us to quantify the significant enhancements required in Onyx to automate the client's Dodd Frank online functions and interfaces.Despite his significant travel schedule for road shows in Europe, Samer managed the post-sales efforts and partnered with my team to developand validate some significant design changes to the product. The new version delivered on-time, within three months, gave us the capabilitiesto automate test sequences and workflows for all business units on the Order Management and Pre-Trade compliance platform. Samer has the right personality, aptitude and interest for Pre-Sales and Management roles and is able to build and maintain relationships with key stake-holders.I would gladly recommend Samer for these roles and will add that his deeep understanding of Application Development and QA methodologies is a huge value-add in these roles." and "Samer Saghir was an intern at Xtras, the company I founded and was President and CEO of at the time, during the summer of 2004. Xtras was located in Atlanta, Georgia USA and Samer was from Beruit, Lebanon. Samer traveled to the USA with his friend and schoolmate Rawad as their own expenses to spend a little over two months working for my company doing web-based software development on the .NET platform. This in itself speaks highly of Samer as I learned that most of their classmates played it safe and interned with large local companies and pushed paper instead of traveling across the ocean at their own expense to do real work for a smaller company. Samer, along with Rawad did a great job for Xtras during his internship. My first impression of Samer was how polite and focused he was. Over time, I became impressed with his intellect and problem solving ability. Speaking with them at the beginning I was amazed at how few real-world things their college professors had introduced them to but I was even more amazed at how much they were able to learn about programming and web technology during the short time they interned. And since that time I have also been impressed with how tenatious he has been at pursued his goals. Having never been to the Lebanon, I came away from the internship with probably as much valuable experience as Samer if not more. Having had no previously knowledge of Lebanon I came to greatly respect Lebanon and its people, and this all came as a result of how impressed I was with Samer and his friend Rawad. And I don't mean that I was impressed considering they were from Lebanon (in case you read that into was I wrote.) No instead what I meant was I was impressed by Samer, period, and that means especially in comparison to Americans of his age. In summary Samer was smart, diligent, and respectful and I can give Samer my highest recommendation to any employer who may be considering hiring him in the future."
