Manuel has a unique combination of all things you would want in an engineer and colleague. He is dedicated and passionate while also being extremely pragmatic and open-minded. This means he makes excellent choices about how to engineer systems. He is constantly looking to improve, challenging those around him to retrospect and think of ways to do things better. During my time working alongside Manuel at Compensate, we built many products and systems together. At all times, brainstorming, designing and implementing ideas felt like such a breeze. This is in large part thanks to the foundations that Manuel laid and the key early engineering decisions he made, in some cases alone! This is a testament to his ability to toe the line perfectly between speed-to-production and long-term maintainability of software systems, which any software engineer will tell you is no easy feat at all. Most importantly, Manuel is a good, kind and empathetic person. He is always thinking about how he can make people's lives easier, be it users of the tools/products he is building or colleagues he is working alongside. He is opinionated but understands and welcomes others' perspectives. All of the above makes Manuel extremely fun and productive to work with. He should be welcomed into any company with open arms!

Manuel is experienced, devoted, and caring. Manuel has a unique talent for understanding what makes sense on the over-arching system level while providing clear reasoning for others. He takes initiative, is passionate about finding the best solutions for the user, and has a sense of calmness in him. As a colleague, Manuel is super fun to be with and you could trust him to take you to Mordor and back again and you would even have fun.
