Bio
Andrew K. Aidoo
Aidan was a well-valued and pivotal team member for all the projects we worked on together, especially on the multi-award-winning Google Digital Garage E-learning platform. Not only did Aidan's open and positive nature as well as his team-leading skills enable the platform to win many awards; but he did this whilst also managing multiple simultaneous work streams with other high-value clients. Simply put: Aidan is a great professional and someone I would be more than happy to work with again.
Andrew Long
I have never heard anyone say a bad word about Aidan. His positive attitude, resilience and ability to lighten a stressful situation made him invaluable to our team. Despite his lack of 'big project' experience I had no reservations in throwing him at the deep end on a project with a difficult group of stakeholders with escalating and often conflicting requirements. To his credit, despite the many twists and turns he successfully kept the project under control and delivered a quality solution. Despite the fact he is probably the nicest person you will ever meet, don't let that fool you into thinking he's a pushover. Aidan is resourceful, resilient, determined and pragmatic. Through extremely stressful times in delivering a massive programme of work, Aidan's manner, methods and style of working made him invaluable to our team.
