Akito Ito
Senior Software Engineer at Capital One
I highly recommend Areef as a front-end web developer/designer! I worked with him at DevelopScripts LLC for about 2 years. During our time working together, Areef demonstrated outstanding front-end development skills (such as HTML/CSS, Figma, and React.js), creativity, and a work ethic. He has a strong eye for detail and a passion for creating user-friendly and visually appealing applications. In addition, he was an excellent collaborator and communicator, and I have no doubt that he will be a strong asset to any team and continue to excel in his career.
Amy Waysack
Product Owner specializing in Digital Experiences
I worked as Product Owner for ecommerce clients of AuctionSoftware. Areef was the lead front end developer for Nellis Auctions projects, one of the largest secondary market of Amazon return centers. Areef was innovative, articulate and responsive on executing the front end design and implementation of the functional requirements of the projects to ensure quality product delivery to meet the needs of the contractual obligations of the client. He is an enormous asset to have on any development team that engages directly with client facing teams. Professional and well spoken.
Raghav G
Product Manager at Kissflow
Having worked with Areef for close to 2 years, I've seen him evolve from an individual contributor to a high agency team lead managing the design team at AuctionSoftware. He built a solid design team ground up, mentored and coached his team with a genuine intent to understand their strengths and get the best out of them. What inspires the most about him is his incredible work ethic and genuineness in helping people grow. He helped a lot of junior talent shape their career through appropriate guidance and challenging assignments for their growth, yet achieving all the committed deliverables by optimally juggling the work at hand. This made him the most sought after person for both the org leadership and his team members. Would recommend him any day for his proficiency in product design and design leadership.
Srikanth B
Enterprise Solutions Architect at Liquidity Services
Working with Areef has been an absolute privilege. He’s someone who brings clarity, confidence, and calm to every project, especially when the pressure is high. Whether it’s solving critical issues or leading complex initiatives, Areef always steps up with full ownership.
His technical depth is matched by his ability to think strategically. He doesn’t just deliver solutions, he delivers scalable, thoughtful systems that align with long-term goals. Teams naturally trust him because he communicates well, mentors without ego, and always puts the mission first.
If there’s one person who could wrestle a mountain and still have time to crack jokes about life- it’s him.
Whether you’re looking for someone who can own end-to-end delivery or someone who leads with maturity, and still bring energy to the team, Areef is that person. I’d strongly recommend him for any high-impact technical or leadership role.Gayathri G
Senior Full-stack Developer at Comcast
It's rare that you came across a standout exceptional talent like Areef, I have worked with Areef for 2 years at DevelopScripts, collaborated on several React js projects. He has an extensive knowledge of web design (multi platform - web & mobile) as well as React JS and a unique ability to effortlessly come up with great and excellent UI/UX designs and reusable React components into projects even the requirements were complex. He never missed to show his extensive frontend knowledge on each and every project. I always admire his professionalism, healthy perfectionism and love for his profession, which is evident in his designs.
Selvakumar S
Front-end Developer at Infosys
We worked closely together for 3 years rolling out a new product launch and multiple projects, and I was constantly amazed not only by his Front End development & UI UX Design skills , but also by his ability to keep the team motivated through the inevitable challenges. He also handled more than 10 projects as a front end developer and delivered the projects within the deadline with an efficient coding methodology to increase the reusability of the code and to avoid the replications. I can honestly say I left every weekly status meeting he led in a better mood. For any company or team that needs a proven Front end developer and Team lead with a get-it-done-with-a-smile approach, Areef is your guy.

His ability to modernize and refine older systems without disrupting their core functionality was impressive and greatly appreciated across teams.
What stood out most about Areef was his thoughtful approach to problem-solving and his eye for detail. He brought clarity to complex design challenges and always prioritized user experience in every solution.

He has an extensive knowledge of web design (multi platform - web & mobile) as well as React JS and a unique ability to effortlessly come up with great and excellent UI/UX designs and reusable React components into projects even the requirements were complex. He never missed to show his extensive frontend knowledge on each and every project. I always admire his professionalism, healthy perfectionism and love for his profession, which is evident in his designs.
Selvakumar S
Front-end Developer at Infosys
We worked closely together for 3 years rolling out a new product launch and multiple projects, and I was constantly amazed not only by his Front End development & UI UX Design skills , but also by his ability to keep the team motivated through the inevitable challenges. He also handled more than 10 projects as a front end developer and delivered the projects within the deadline with an efficient coding methodology to increase the reusability of the code and to avoid the replications. I can honestly say I left every weekly status meeting he led in a better mood. For any company or team that needs a proven Front end developer and Team lead with a get-it-done-with-a-smile approach, Areef is your guy.

Areef's approach to problem-solving is unique and highly effective, he is always open to learning new technologies, and this helped him to build projects faster and more efficiently.
What I admire most about Areef is his leadership style. He leads his team in a friendly and professional manner, and is always willing to lend a hand and help out whenever needed. He is a great team player, and his positive attitude and easy-going nature make him a pleasure to work with. He is an asset to any team and will be a valuable addition to any organization. I highly recommend Areef for any design or development role. He is a true professional and leader.

Working with Areef Syed over the past year has been a rewarding experience. As the legacy designer and front-end developer for the organization, he carried deep knowledge of the platform’s foundation and played a key role in ensuring design continuity and technical stability. His ability to modernize and refine older systems without disrupting their core functionality was impressive and greatly appreciated across teams.
What stood out most about Areef was his thoughtful approach to problem-solving and his eye for detail. He brought clarity to complex design challenges and always prioritized user experience in every solution. Areef’s quiet leadership, reliability, and dedication made him a go-to person for both design and front-end development needs.Akito Ito

I highly recommend Areef as a front-end web developer/designer! I worked with him at DevelopScripts LLC for about 2 years. During our time working together, Areef demonstrated outstanding front-end development skills (such as HTML/CSS, Figma, and React.js), creativity, and a work ethic. He has a strong eye for detail and a passion for creating user-friendly and visually appealing applications. In addition, he was an excellent collaborator and communicator, and I have no doubt that he will be a strong asset to any team and continue to excel in his career.

Product Owner specializing in Digital Experiences
I worked as Product Owner for ecommerce clients of AuctionSoftware. Areef was the lead front end developer for Nellis Auctions projects, one of the largest secondary market of Amazon return centers. Areef was innovative, articulate and responsive on executing the front end design and implementation of the functional requirements of the projects to ensure quality product delivery to meet the needs of the contractual obligations of the client. He is an enormous asset to have on any development team that engages directly with client facing teams. Professional and well spoken.

Having worked with Areef for close to 2 years, I've seen him evolve from an individual contributor to a high agency team lead managing the design team at AuctionSoftware. He built a solid design team ground up, mentored and coached his team with a genuine intent to understand their strengths and get the best out of them. What inspires the most about him is his incredible work ethic and genuineness in helping people grow. He helped a lot of junior talent shape their career through appropriate guidance and challenging assignments for their growth, yet achieving all the committed deliverables by optimally juggling the work at hand. This made him the most sought after person for both the org leadership and his team members. Would recommend him any day for his proficiency in product design and design leadership.

Working with Areef has been an absolute privilege. He’s someone who brings clarity, confidence, and calm to every project, especially when the pressure is high. Whether it’s solving critical issues or leading complex initiatives, Areef always steps up with full ownership.
His technical depth is matched by his ability to think strategically. He doesn’t just deliver solutions, he delivers scalable, thoughtful systems that align with long-term goals. Teams naturally trust him because he communicates well, mentors without ego, and always puts the mission first.
If there’s one person who could wrestle a mountain and still have time to crack jokes about life- it’s him.
Whether you’re looking for someone who can own end-to-end delivery or someone who leads with maturity, and still bring energy to the team, Areef is that person. I’d strongly recommend him for any high-impact technical or leadership role.Gayathri G
