When Michael joined Baynote, it became clear pretty fast that we were lucky to have him. He ramped up very quickly (both technically and socially) and became productive way ahead of our expectations. Soon he was presented with additional challenges. Our QA lead at the time left for maternity leave and Michael immediately stepped up as an individual contributor and a de facto lead. Over time, Michael developed great troubleshooting skills. He would not be satisfied with just finding a bug. He would take the next step and try to isolate the issue to the point of root causing it. Which translated to developers’ efficiency. Michael would also often wear a PM hat. Always thinking about how to improve the product and flagging bad UX. To summarize... Michael is hard working, pro active, fast learner, always calm under pressure with great work ethic. Any organization will be lucky to have him. Sincerely hope we will work in the future again !
