Nicolas Moulin

I lead projects requiring Gaetan competences for two years and enjoyed working with him for several reasons. First and foremost Gaetan always tries to get things move forward. As soon as problems occur (and they do) he's very much proactive and comes very quickly with proposed solutions. Geatan is also very flexible and can quickly adapt to a project method when needed. I can't talk about his detailed competences because I'm not technical but from what I have seen among his teammates, he seemed to be the referent person. I would defenitely recommend Gaetan.

Emmanuel Bataille

I recommend Gaetan for several reasons. He has both sensibility. First, he has a user centric attitude and has a good knowledge of technical issues on mobile and other devices. He succeeds in these two ways of thinking. He is very open-minded and is keen on working rapidly to find technical appropriate solutions in any case with a team spirit !
