“I've had the privilege of working alongside Ahmad and can confidently say he is one of the most driven and high-character professionals I know. Ahmad brings a true growth mindset to everything he does.

He isn't afraid to challenge assumptions, explore new ideas, or lean into complexity. Beyond his strong work ethic and high intellectual capacity, what truly sets Ahmad apart is his character. He cares deeply about people. He shows up with kindness, integrity, and a genuine desire to see others succeed.

Darolyn Pierce
VP of Data Analytics & Insights
“I had the privilege of managing Ahmad during his time as a Digital Fellow within the Data, Analytics & Insights team at Brooklyn Sports & Entertainment, where he worked closely with both our Digital and AI teams. In my four years at BSE, Ahmad quickly established himself as one of the most impressive early-career professionals I've had the opportunity to work with. One of Ahmad's most impactful contributions was building our Customer Feedback dashboard for the Barclays Center fan experience. Beyond designing what is easily the most aesthetically pleasing and engaging Tableau dashboard I've seen at the organization, Ahmad did the difficult work behind the scenes - extensive data cleansing, structuring, and analysis - to ensure the insights were truly meaningful and actionable. He also brought strong technical capabilities in SQL and Python, applying them not only to analytics work but also to developing AI agents and experimenting with emerging tools using AWS. Ahmad regularly presented his work to senior leadership, including our VP of AI and Chief Digital Officer, and consistently demonstrated the ability to translate complex technical work into clear, thoughtful insights. Just as impressive as Ahmad's technical ability is his character. He is endlessly curious, has an A+++ work ethic, and approaches his work with humility, compassion, and a willingness to be vulnerable and keep learning. Over time he became not only an outstanding employee but also a close friend, and he's firmly in the small group of people I will always reference as one of the best colleagues I've ever worked with. I'm extremely confident Ahmad is going to accomplish remarkable things, particularly in the AI space, and I couldn't be more excited to see what he does next. Any team would be incredibly fortunate to have him.”

Ahmad brings a rare combination of intellectual curiosity, discipline, and genuine care for building meaningful, human-centered technology. Throughout our interactions, Ahmad consistently demonstrated the ability to think critically, ask the right questions, and translate complex ideas into well-structured, practical solutions. His work in areas such as AI, data systems, and applied research reflects not only technical competence, but also a thoughtful and responsible approach to innovation. He is receptive to feedback, eager to learn, and quick to apply insights in a way that meaningfully improves his work. What stands out most is Ahmad's character. He is reliable, reflective, and driven by a strong growth mindset. As a mentor, it has been rewarding to see him take initiative, develop confidence in his decision-making, and steadily elevate the quality and impact of his contributions. He approaches challenges with maturity and professionalism well beyond his years. I highly recommend Ahmad to any team or organization seeking someone with strong technical foundations, leadership potential, and a principled approach to collaboration and problem-solving. He has a very promising path ahead of him.”
