Michael Hashimi
Management Consultant, Irvine
My family and I migrated from Afghanistan at the tender age of eight and I grew up in sunny Southern California for the majority of my life. I attended California State University of Northridge where I was voted the senator of student government for the College of Engineering and Computer Science. It was in college where I not only obtained my bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and realized my love and enthusiasms in working with people and my passion towards technology and problem-solving. This allowed me to jumpstart my career as a consultant for potent companies such as; Capgemini, Bank of America, NBC Universal and most recently Price Waterhouse Cooper (PWC) as an independent consulting professional. A little about my personal life - I met my wife in 2007 and lived in Marina Del Rey for a couple of years. Once we decided to start a family we relocated to Irvine where we currently reside with our three children. During my leisure time, I enjoy spending quality time with my family and watching my three kiddos grow. My hobbies include; physical training, playing football and basketball. I am a huge Los Angeles Lakers fan and enjoy going to the games. I take each day as a blessing and I’m always in pursuit of new and challenging adventures.
