Shahid has a truly unique mix of technology expertise and business acumen. He is gifted at taking complex processes and distilling them down to their essence for the purpose of re-engineering and automation. He excels at every level of information engineering from the most conceptual and theoretical all the way down to bits and bytes. He has a tireless energy and focus, and never rests until the customer is thrilled with the outcome. He is a true master-craftsman when it comes to coding, consistently staying current on emerging frameworks, languages, and technologies.

Shahid is an exceptional leader, a very positive person, detail oriented manager and a programmer at heart. He is great at communication and persuasion. A big part of what I am today is due to inspiration and constant mentoring from Shahid.

The extent of Shahid's technical knowledge is overwhelming. His communication and presentation style, from rank and file developers to executives, is effective, informed and professional. If your business requirements include enterprise class software design and development make Shahid part of your solution.

I worked with Shahid on multiple projects in the healthcare industry as well as on the SparX J2EE framework. He is, by far, the most creative, energetic, and technically savvy person I have ever worked with.

Shahid's dynamic and energetic leadership was key to the success of the FDA regulated program. His continued interest in process improvement led to many changes that enhanced techniques on this large program. Shahid's innovative management styles were incorporated at all levels of the program and later used on several other programs.

Shahid is a top notch technical guru and an adept entrepreneur who can effectively fuse technology with business concerns. There are few people who can communicate complex business and technical aspects as well as Shahid, and his professionalism is unmatched. I have an immense amount of trust and respect for Shahid.

Shahid possesses a unique blend of technical and leadership skills. He has strong communication skills and was always very diligent at following up. Any company that is lucky enough to retain his services won't be disappointed.

If you are looking for a deep technology expert with a clear understanding of customer business needs, look no further than Shahid. He brings a phenomenal understanding of software architecture and design to the table, not merely from a theoretical point of view but from a practical hands-on perspective as well.

Savvy, results oriented, keen to understand your strategic needs and capable of understanding a bigger picture: what else do you want in someone designing and building software? Every time we have used Shahid in client engagements the result has always been predictable: outstanding, which means a satisfied client. Highest recommendation.

He demonstrated competence and brilliance in the development of a unique software. He conceived an innovative solution to a fundamental industry problem, and worked collaboratively with healthcare experts in the development of applications. As a thinker, engineer, leader, manager, and committed employee I recommend Mr. Shah without reservation. His ethical standards are of the highest order.

Shahid has been training us on advanced software engineering and test-driven development techniques on a new Loan Processing System my firm is building. He knows his way around tools and technologies and is able to teach programmers how to use them.

I have been extremely impressed with Shahid as an entrepreneur and a technologist. His breadth of knowledge on every aspect of IT as well as vertical expertise is certainly one of his most impressive attributes. He also possesses the business acumen to bridge the gap between technology and business.

I had the honor of working for the International Association of Software Architects, of which Shahid Shah is a member of the Board. Shah is one of those people who know how to make things happen.

I had the pleasure of attending Shahid's social media webinar and found it to be very informative, full of great tips for next month's HIMSS. His direct style really makes you take a good look at where you stand to improve your messaging and how best to prioritize solving the customer's problems and see things from their perspective.

Shahid is a man you can count on! When times get tough and you look around to see who will fight the fight with you, Shahid will be by your side. He is self motivated, extremely smart and capable of getting it done. He is a superb manager and also willing to roll up his sleeves to do it himself when that is the best solution. We can all learn a few things from Shahid!

I met Shahid at the Dell Think Tank on Healthcare earlier this year. He was very knowledgeable about the economics behind HITECH and the widespread adoption of EMR technology, and how these fit within the regulatory framework. He obviously has a great deal of experience in the industry, and provides thought leadership.

Shahid was hired by our company as a consultant to establish fundamental changes in how we develop. His insight into design patterns, testing, refactoring, project management and his grasp of advanced programming came together on a large project. If not for his guidance, this project of ours would not have been able to meet the deadlines set for us.

Shahid is supremely talented in all aspects of business, marketing, startups, health IT, platforms, frameworks, architecture, and so much more he constantly astounds me. But what makes him really stand out is his ability to sift through your needs and simplify everything. Ultra pragmatic and never burdened with a hidden agenda. He is very unique and highly recommended.

Shahid is a rare leader in technology. I and my friends consult him on important issues related to technology, and he has instant answers. His blog is highly recommended for people in health IT. His knowledge about the IT domain is vast and is quite helpful to people who get confused by a vendor-driven IT industry. Above all, Shahid is not driven by money and he is always willing to offer his expertise when needed. A great human being!

Shahid's blog is a must read for any healthcare, IT, and healthcare IT person. I am already asking my colleagues and interns to follow it on a daily basis. This is the best you can get.

Shahid provided me with valuable advice in establishing a global database for supporting clinical trials. His deep understanding of the subject area and high integrity left a deep mark on the project.

When I talk about Shahid several things come to immediate thought. He consistently overdelivers, is a plethora of useful expertise and information, has shown himself to be an advocate and champion of both technology and innovation, and he is open and honest. There is nothing more refreshing than working with someone who is not afraid to voice an opinion that is best for the company, not just what the executive wants to hear.

I worked with Shahid for almost a year and a half, and found him truly inspirational when it comes to guiding and mentoring a raw team. It was amazing to find him so profound in all technical areas; he guided us with his rich technical and business thinking. One of his key managerial strengths is his ability to easily zoom in and out on any small to big issue in no time.

Shahid is a thought leader in creating J2EE frameworks for development projects and has deep knowledge of the platform combined with strong organizational skills, making him a strong asset. I enjoy working with Shahid for the energy and enthusiasm he brings to the team.

I had the opportunity to review some of Shahid's work with Netspective and I was very impressed. I always enjoy meeting people who have the ability to see the big picture and the talent to use that knowledge to deliver useful solutions.

Shahid is a creative and extremely competent technical architect. Several people, myself included, were inspired to join the company by the vision expressed in his design.

I worked closely with Shahid during our initial evaluation of the Sparx application platform, and more recently during our first implementation using it. I am confident that using Sparx on our program will help us deliver better products faster, not only because of the quality of the framework itself, but also due to the responsiveness and involvement of Shahid and his team.

Shahid is one of the brightest individuals that I have ever met. He not only understands information technology but he genuinely wants to help his customers. Shahid is a tireless worker and an honest and ethical person.

It was really a pleasure working with Shahid on our healthcare project. I gained tremendous knowledge about developing an internet application from him. He has complete command and knowledge of what he develops. He is a mentor and a great person. I would highly recommend working with him.
