He delivered good leadership to junior developers and was a clear communicator and a great problem-solver. I can highly recommend Bogdan—he will definitely be a valuable resource for any team."

Any job you throw at him, he handles with professionalism and gusto. He is a thought leader, a mentor, and crucially, someone you can rely on. But beyond it all, he is a great person—I always walk away with a smile when I engage with him."
