“Max is a person who cares about the team, the value team brings to the customer, and the work the team tries to complete. We were working together for more than a year on a product on data visualization. Max has done a huge amount of work. He was performing the frontend developer role but still showed professionalism with the backend and troubleshooting. In many cases, Maxim was working all alone on smaller projects. From my point of view, this ability to work alone - requirements, code, management, giving estimations - is a quality of great professionalism and costs a lot as Max has never missed estimates.”
