Bio
Frank van Eenbergen
I worked with Taras on the TransFollow platform where he helped develop several components of the platform. He is a true full-stack developer who quickly learns a new skill and likes to share his knowledge with others. He likes to lighten the mood but at the same time keeps his focus on the work at hand. He is very smart and dedicated and it was always a great pleasure to work with him.

Taras is hardworking, meticulous and a very talented developer and it was my absolute privilege to work with him. During his tenure at GetSocial he showed great commitment and dedication to the company’s success and played a pivotal role in bringing our mobile product to where it is today. His work ethic is one of the best I know and he would be a great asset to any organization. I would not hesitate to recommend him for any endeavor he chooses to pursue.

Working with Taras on various commercial and open source projects has been a great experience. Also, we started our Unity Asset Store publisher journey in parallel and it was really inspirational and helpful collaboration. Along with his incredible calming demeanor, Taras was also one of the most dedicated people on any project I've had the pleasure to work with him on. He demonstrated not only exceptional developer skills, but also his well rounded knowledge with the Unity3D engine, and his ability to plan and lead a project. Taras has demonstrated that he is more than capable to work in the games industry, and any employer would be lucky to have him.
