Bio
Laurie Williams
It’s rare to have a manager who is as talented, approachable and as trustworthy as Ivan. Ivan is my direct manager and I am fortunate to have the opportunity to work closely with him. Not only does Ivan possess a wealth of technical knowledge but he is able to convey complex technical requirements in a way that is both concise and intelligible. Ivans guidance and mentorship is the foundation for our successful team and it has also made me a better software engineer. Ivan earns my highest recommendation.
