Bio
Dubravka Micovic
I have been working with Nikolay on an Access Management project for 8 months and during this whole time he showed nothing but hard work, understanding of employee's needs and professionalism. I joined this project as a non-technical person and every time I needed clarification or explanation for how something works, Nick was happy to help me and provide me with the information I needed in order to move forward with the project. For one Project Manager it is very important to have at least one person out of all stakeholders that will be the main point of contact and Nikolay has been that person. He never hesitated to jump in on short notice calls and show us where he was with his tasks or listen to what we wanted to share. I can tell, he is very fast and experienced at what he is doing and I would be happy to work with him on some future projects.

Nick is a experienced IT professional who is capable at performing tasks and projects at the highest levels. Working with Nikolay has always been a pleasent and productive experience. As a person, Nick never failed to demonstrate professionalism, courtesy, and a positive attitude towards his colleagues and clients. He possesses excellent communication skills, and is always there to help whenever needed. During his time at Celonis, Nick has always showed his technical expertise and ability to solve complex problems. He has a precise eye for detail, and is always willing to go the extra mile to ensure that projects are completed to the highest standard. He is a team player, and works collaboratively with his colleagues to achieve shared goals. I want to thank Nick for the great time we had and can highly recommend him for any IT-related positions, as he will provide immense value in his role.
