What Others Say

"Over the past few days I have been looking at some issues on Borselle and how we have implemented it. This work has had a lot of overlap with the AMP team so I've had the pleasure of working with Farida. She has been incredibly helpful and very diligent in her approach. Shes been working long hours, sometimes late in the night India to get this sorted and her approach has ensured that Shell has not lost any money. At times this work was confusing and Im not sure I helped by getting involved but at all times Farida has kept a very level head and gotten the job done. The AMP team are lucky to have her."

Siobhain O'Neill

She brought a strong technical foundation, attention to detail, and a collaborative spirit that made a real impact on the team. Farida was always proactive in identifying and resolving issues, and her contributions were key to the project’s success. Beyond her technical skills, she is a genuinely kind and friendly person—an absolute joy to work with and a great teammate. I highly recommend her and would gladly work with her again"
