Bio
Viktor Lova
I was working closely with Igor while we developed an essential long-term project for AppXite. Enjoyed every moment. It's the best teamwork experience I have ever had. He always has creative ideas, helpful business insights, and a significant desire to explore several possible options before deciding. It's always highly beneficial to receive Igor's constructive feedback on my proposals with business specifics or user experience. Igor never divides ideas into own and external, and he focuses only on the worth of ideas. I have learned & grown a lot by working together with Igor. Igor is a gifted communicator, open-minded workaholic, and passionate colleague with a great sense of humor. Having Igor in the team will boost productivity by several times.
