The best achievement is the satisfaction of business owners. Hereis a recommendation a Grupeer co-founder provided to me:

Maxim is a rare mix of deep technical competence and leadership skills.

We’ve hired Maxim for our Lending Marketplace Internet platform at the beginning of 2017. He started as a standalone software developer. While the project grew rapidly Maxim demonstrated exceptional performance and soon was entrusted to build our IT team from scratch.

I was particularly impressed by Maksim’s ability to understand the need of the business team.

As a team member or a leader, Maksims earns my highest recommendation.
