review comments

I've worked with Umer in capacity of a Product Manager, overseeing the projects Umer was directly involved in. He's super energetic, always keen to dive in and solve problems. He was a Swiss Army knife of a team member. Self driven and always happy to help, constantly engaging in constructive discussions with his teammates. He was responsible for solving a very tricky issue that was plaguing our platform for months and required a ton of creativity. If he ever applied for a job at your company, you would be a fool to not give him a chance. 10/10, would hire again.
