Bio
André Barbosa
I have worked with Nelson in Yell for almost a year and despite not being on the same team I had the pleasure to work closely with him on the same project in several occasions. Nelson has an excellent approach to problem solving and delivers high standard solutions with minimal effort. He is not just a great professional with a strong work ethic but also someone which has a powerful personal side and contributes to the team in depth.
Tom Pearson
Nelson is a fantastic server developer with a passion for code quality. He takes a very measured approach towards development, with a focus on testing and reviewing his work (and that of the rest of the team) to ensure it is of the highest standard. Nelson is also a solid team player, quick to build friendships and welcome new colleagues to the fold. It has been a genuine pleasure working with him.
