What your colleagues say about Upwork

"My team is living in new things all the time, so we need specific and unique talent. I can find Upwork talent who is living in the thing that I'm trying to do and bring them in relatively quickly and reasonably.

You can muster an army so quickly on Upwork to build that thing, and it's really cool to see it all come together."

"I worked with Ahmed for the last year on an ongoing basis and I'd highly recommend him for any data science needs. He was able to partner closely with our team in developing a predictive modeling solution to help solve client needs… Ahmed communicated closely with us and always delivered on time. Based on his initial work, we continued to utilize Ahmed for Python training(s) for team members and ad hoc requests, and look forward to continuing to partner in the future."

Not only did he clarify many of the technical details, but he also was able to infuse and explain the correlation with the business problem and solution for my target audience. This balance of technical acumen with thoughtfulness for the target audience (both non-technical and technical) is what I came to UpWork for and Michael delivered."
