Technical Reviewer - Wordpress 3 Cookbook
I was a technical reviewer for the book 'Wordpress 3 Cookbook', published by Packt.
I worked with Shameer on an application composed of a Scala backend and Javascript frontend. Despite his lack of experience with Java and Scala in the beginning, he was able to ramp up quickly and contributed to the implementation of several non-trivial backend components. He also did outstanding frontend work in Javascript. Shammer is a versatile polyglot programmer and a quick learner. He's easy to work with and very self-sufficient.
