Simone Bocedi 🔥

Romain is simply one of the smartest persons I've had the pleasure to work with. He's tireless, he's prolific, and he is never, ever in a bad-mood. He gets things done and is not afraid to take in challenges bigger than himself. If that isn't enough, he brings joy and happiness to any office, with his big smiles and nerdy jokes. Romain is the kind of person you'd want to hire and keep in a desk near you.

I met Romain when working on a web service project at Dingle. The project was unmanaged before Romain came in, and he was quickly able to make sense of the requirements and turn them into tasks, setting the project on track. Romain taught me about aspects of project management and trained me in the use of several tools. Romain also impressed me with his ability to understand and discuss the technology behind the service and its tasks. Our professional relationship soon extended beyond work to friendship. Romain has a great personality and obvious professional competence.
