TESTIMONIALS

someone

Jake Holloway Chief Product Officer at Crossword Cybersecurity

Huzeyfe is a very good Enterprise Java analyst/programmer. He is smart as well as quick - e.g. together with one other guy, they built a world class money transfer and FX platform in just 8 months. The Xendpay platform now supports tens of thousands of users. Huzeyfe is also a good teacher and tools specialist. He would be great in any senior Java role. He is also a very conscientious and easy going chap - which makes working with him enjoyable as well as productive. He takes responsibility for his work and is very committed to doing a great job. Very highly recommended.

Paula Alonso FigueroaProject Manager at Crossword Cybersecurity Plc

It has been a pleasure to work with Huzeyfe for over a year in Xendpay. He is an excellent programmer and he was fully involved in the project all the time we worked with us. He always showed his analytical profile presenting different options to solve an specific problem, offering pros and cons for each option and suggesting which one we should take considering time, risks and objectives. Huzeyfe is also a great team player, able to remain calm and keep focus in moments of pressure. He is a lovely person to work with, completing all the tasks assigned to him with a smile on his face...

I had the opportunity to work with Huzeyfe at Discover Financial Services, he has been a great colleague and a good friend. At work, he has always displayed a high degree of integrity, responsibility, and ambition. He has proven his technical and multitasking abilities working with a vast geographically dispersed and diversified team. He is also a dependable team player and has always supported the team morally and professionally. His good judgement and mature outlook ensure a logical and practical approach to his endeavours. He is a pleasanter person to interact with because of his polite behaviour and being respectful to everyone. I would love to work with him again.
