Bio
Albert Kaluba
I worked with Hal for just under 2 years and it was such a pleasure. He is one of the best team leads I have had and has such a great approach in leading people. He is supportive, understanding and builds great relationships with the people around him. Hal has a great technical knowledge as well which allows him to deal with any technical challenges he faces. I would highly recommend Hal. He would instantly add value to any company! It was a privilege working with him.

I had the pleasure of working with Hal for a little over 2 years and can say without hesitation that he was on of the most supportive, understanding, and knowledgeable team leads I have ever worked with. He was always there to lend a helping hand, provide guidance, and share his knowledge and expertise. He made me feel welcome, provided valuable guidance, and always had my best interests at heart. I particularly appreciated his willingness to listen and his ability to provide thoughtful solutions to any professional challenge I faced. I would highly recommend Hal to anyone looking for an experienced manager who truly cares about his team members. It was always great working with him, and I know that he will continue to make a positive impact on the professional lives of others.
