I managed them directly
I highly recommend this developer. As CTO, I worked very close with this developer and they were a key member of our software engineering team. They were instrumental in developing our BI and analytics platform, led automated testing for our mobile app, and even contributed to firmware-level tasks. This developer is highly adaptable, a quick learner with strong technical skills across a wide range of technologies. They are a valuable asset to any team.
