Bio

Shawn is a great business partner and a wonderful colleague and team player. He is a whizz at what he does and displays both a great commercial acumen and practicality to how he consults, project manages and solves business problems. A great boss, he is dedicated, loyal to the core and very caring of his people and team. He has a energy, fab team player with a penchant for fun, jokes and team camaraderie. Overall great guy, boss, colleague and business partner.
Deepak Birdja
Shawn is a genuinely great guy with humour and pragmatism, always looking for ways to work together. He's a delight in meetings and knows how to get the best out of people. He has an incredible eye for detail and strives for perfection, without losing sight of the bigger picture at play. I worked together with Shawn on an internal front-end library for enterprise applications, in which he always made sure the technical needs of his team were met. Even though my work domain as a UX/UI designer is a bit further away from his field, Shawn was always curious and inquisitive, looking for ways to better his work by gaining insight from my domain of work in UX. It was an absolute pleasure to work with Shawn.
