I would like to thank my parents, Mahmood and Nasreen Lakhani. Thank you for always encouraging me, pushing me to be my best, and nourishing my hunger for knowledge. I would also like thank my sisters, Noureen and Zahra who have always been there for me and are my best friends. Last, but definitely not least I would like to thank my team and colleagues at World Wide Technology, Inc. for mentoring me and giving me the ability to do what I love. It is easy to see why WWT is one of the best places to work, it's the people, management, and attitude.
