Yusuf Durbar was in my Metrics and Measurement class in the 2014 Spring Semester at the University of Texas at Arlington. Since Yusuf was an excellent student, he was in a Time and Motion Study research project for the IE department under my guidance. During that time, he was very enthusiastic concerning research and brought new ideas and performed high quality research. Yusuf has a good nature and outstanding people skills. Without any hesitation, I would say Yusuf will be a valuable member to a future employer.

I have always been impressed by his ability to connect with people, his enthusiasm to take on responsibility.and his capability to complete the entrusted task as per the agreed standard. Yusuf will be an asset to any organization, especially in people-related jobs.
