To whom it may concern
It gives me very great pleasure to provide a reference for Nisar Keshvani.
I first met Nisar in February 1998 when he enrolled in my class “Introduction
to Multimedia Technology” (QUT, AAB818). He achieved a High
Distinction in this difficult unit and I was very pleased when he
subsequently accepted my invitation to work on fineArt forum, an art
& technology e-zine which I edited from 1992-1999. Since June
1998 he has made a number of contributions to this publication as
editor of our “Opportunities” and “Stuff”
sections and written industry reviews. In December 1999 he took over
as Editor of the magazine. |

Nisar’s combination of intelligence and insight with enthusiasm
and diligence mark him out as an exceptional worker. His commitment
to the many projects that he has been involved with ... have enabled
him to make a significant contribution.

Nisar’s combination of intelligence and insight with enthusiasm
and diligence mark him out as an exceptional worker. His commitment
to the many projects that he has been involved with since I have known
him have enabled him to make a significant contribution.
As you will see from his resume this has been rewarded by a continuing
string of accolades and awards. He is strongly self-motivated, shows
exceptional initiative and can quickly adapt to often complex circumstances.
He is able to accept high levels of responsibility and I have been
able to delegate complicated tasks to him with complete confidence.
He is able to work unsupervised and has proven capabilities in supervising
and training others. He has a positive attitude and a personable demeanour
which enable him to work well as either a member or the leader of
a group. |
As the Editor of fineArt forum he has been successful in obtaining
grant income for this non-profit magazine and has initiated many challenging
projects. He has developed and improved administrative procedures
and documentation. This is the first time our international e-zine
has been edited by a Singaporean journalist I am particularly excited
by his plans to extend fineArt forum’s network into the growing
Asia Pacific region.
I wish Nisar every success in his future endeavours and have no reservations
in recommending him to prospective employers. If you require any further
information please do not hesitate to contact me. |

This is the first time our international e-zine has been edited by
a Singaporean journalist.

Yours sincerely
