Working with Michael was an absolute pleasure. He was the border between the developers and the business and always managed to handle both sides' expectations and took the stress of the business on to himself to give the developers enough room to do amazing work. A great developer as well. Always a laugh, great personality, light hearted and I would definitely work with him again at a moment's notice.
Michael doesn't just tackle challenges; he approaches them with a no-nonsense attitude, cutting through complexities with a level of precision that's truly impressive. His ability to break down intricate problems and come up with elegant solutions is not only commendable but also a testament to his exceptional problem-solving skills.
Michael's knowledge is vast. I worked with him for a short period of time and found his inputs on front-end, UI, and UX insightful. He quickly became a part of the management team and took ownership of the functionalities related to the product. He challenged the UX of the product, which led to revamping it and improving its overall performance.
