I worked with Savinay on a project related to engineering and graphical assets. I was really impressed by his technical knowledge and the innovative approach to solve issues. He proved himself capable of taking control of big projects and executing to the fullest. Successfully supervising his team, he was able to face daunting deadlines and always available to lend a hand when necessary. Good work ethic, excellent communication.
