I have had a great time working with Behrouz

“I have had a great time working with Behrouz. We have had great chats and shared a lot of knowledge. I have learned a lot while working with him. Behrouz blended in our team as if he had worked with us for years, he got acquainted with our stack in no time and delivered dry and excellent work. I would say Behrouz definitely lives up as a Senior Dev, even though he is blessed with a bright mind, he never hesitated having a call with the team to ask questions and deliver what was expected. It would be my honour to work with Behrouz in the future again. An amazing person to have as a colleague who I consider a friend for sure. Thank you Behrouz for being with us.”

I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Pooladrak

“I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Pooladrak for six months at the PayamPardaz Company, collaborating on web design and development of a product. I've seen him not only excel at the core elements of his job -- like user interface design and user experience -- but also learn other tasks that extend well beyond the scope of his role, like graphic design for advertisement of the company’s products. No matter how tense a working day, he made sure everyone left the office with a smile. I have only optimistic predictions for his career trajectory.”
