Dorin stands head and shoulders above other students because of one simple reason: he gets the things he says he will do done. He has a natural talent for technical matters and is both friendly and amicable. At the same time I do appreciate how he tells things like they are. He would be a great project coordinator or IT team leader as unlike many IT personnel he is not introverted. Highly recommended.
