Khash Lessan worked in my team as a contractor in 2019 and 2020, despite a difficult environement, moving requirements and low technical description of the systems, he managed to deliver on the expectations. It would be my pleasure to recommend Khash and to share more details privatly.

Maximilian Bechter

Khash has an outstanding academic track record and a broad range of intercultural understanding. As a colleague, he was always unfailingly pleasant and helpful. He is a Senior Software Developer (especially in C# & C++) and gained a lot of experience in two sectors: Medical Device and Finanical Services. It was always a pleasure to collaborate with him. And funny, too!
