Akhtar joined Gold-i as a developer in 2014 and progressed to Team Lead, where he played a key role in the development of a number of Gold-i’s core products. He brings a wealth of experience to the role from both industry and academia, having started his career in software development in 2004 and achieved a doctorate in the development of predictive analytics to enhance learning. 

Tom Higgins, CEO, Gold-i commented, “With a growing product portfolio and business at an all-time high, we decided this was the right time to promote Akhtar and Mo Alshanteer, streamlining our teams and enabling us to accelerate product development. We are currently looking to build our team with the appointment of additional developers. "

“As part of our growth strategy we look to promote from within the organisation whenever possible and both Syed and Mo are highly valued members of the Gold-i team who thoroughly deserve their promotions. Both have exceptional industry and technical knowledge.”
