Accomplishments

  • Feedback from CTO on Stoovo project

Artem exceeds my expectations. We've had a Senior QA from Andersen and Artem, just being an interim, surpasses our previous Senior QA. Artem is very detailed on his work, shows dedication, easy to work with, and has the startup mentality. So far, everything that Artem does is quality, and I cannot pick a single shortcoming that cannot be improved.
