I personally know Mr Zafar who is a thorough professional in his field. I have interacted with him for development and control of huge data base systems and work flows for automation of procedures in the manufacturing industry and finance. I was impressed by his skills and efficient approach in tackling major data base and work problems. I have learnt a lot from him in the field of cost control and production management. He has developed the General Leder data base system for Financials and Ware house and production system. Love working with him where he was a consultant for my concern. Strongly recommend his credentials.
