Bio
Gabriel Guardiola
"Very talented person" is what's come first in my mind. "Nice and friendly person" is alos coming in my mind. Leonardo had a very professional view of the jobs/tasks given. Every time trying to be sure he doesn't miss something. In the 2 years of common work, i had challenged him a lot of time and was pleased of his responses. I look forward to work again with him!

Some speaks, some, like Leonardo act. Some execute, some, like Leonardo think. Some are not reliable, some like Leonardo are. So if you are looking for someone who knows about technology, explains it to you and pushes to ensure the use is relevant to your needs and ability to operate, I'll defenitely recommend Leonardo. You can trust him. At least I did and suggest you do so.
