I had the pleasure of working with Matthias during his internship with S-Docs. He is often curious and determined for success no matter the goal. His communication and level of effort with our team continue to bring strides of success after his tenure. He will be a valuable asset for any team lucky to have him.

I had the tremendous opportunity to work with Matthias during his time with us as a Support Engineer at S-Docs. He was fantastic to work with, displayed impressive technical expertise, and also resolved an impressive number of support cases. As a Customer Success Manager, the relationships with our most strategic clients are of the utmost importance and I trusted Matthias to manage those conversations with dedication and aplomb. I would welcome the opportunity to work with him again and I'm sure any future employers will feel exactly the same way.
