    Muhammad and I worked together for almost 3 years at Coursera, and it was a privilege to call him my teammate.

    Data Scientist II at Coursera

    If there was one word I'd use to describe Sharif, it's driven. I worked closely with Sharif at Coursera for over 2 years and for the entire time I was amazed at how resilient, focused, talented, and open to feedback he is. It has made collaborating with him a very positive and productive experience overall. Sharif and I worked together on building and solidifying the data foundations for the degrees business at Coursera. Together, we worked on a very big page view and funnel attribution project, and a leadership-facing dashboard that surfaces the outputs and health of our degree forecasting model. Sharif's greatest skillsets are in data (analytics) engineering and dashboard development.
