Michał Sobiecki
Oskar is a very ambitious and highly motivated and very talented person. He is always trying to do his job as good as possible, finding technical solutions to do it fast at the same time. I never had any problems with working with Oskar - he was always a person that could listen to others, successfully understood their needs, and always had something to add from his side at the same time. A great person to work with.
