A New Year—And More Progress

Introducing Tanzeel urRehman

In 2013 we realized that in order to scale, we’d need to continue increasing the caliber of talent on our team. As a firm, we have the challenge of juggling multiple projects, sprints, scopes, code reviews, code documentations, research projects, contract negotiations, trainings, scrum meetings etc. at once. We are very obviously an operations-heavy firm. It therefore became apparent that we needed to bring someone on to our team responsible for ensuring all of the moving parts were continuing to function in an orchestrated manner.

With that in mind, I am excited to announce that Tanzeel urRehman has joined us and is heading our operations. Tanzeel received his undergraduate degree in computer engineering from Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS), and went on to receive his MBA at Babson College, a top-notch entrepreneurial school based out of Massachusetts.

Tanzeel has spent time as a software engineer at Palmchip, and at Sensys (where he also served as a regional director of sales). Beyond that, Tanzeel has also served as an account manager at InfoTech, and as a co-founder of Xyltus, a firm focused on digital marketing and application development.

His experience both from a technical and managerial perspective make him a perfect fit for his role with our team. I’ve already learned from his calm demeanor while solving complex problems—and his ability to keep an organized eye over the entire firm.

I expect to keep learning from him, and expect great things in general.

He is also a paragliding pilot, he has flown in the highest mountain range of the world and has co-founded a paragliding club in Pakistan. Beat that.
