Professional Recommendations
*“I had the pleasure to work with Steven in a 2 years SAP-related R&D project. From the very beginning I noticed his extensive experience in SAP development tools and cloud-based solutions. Always with a can-do attitude, he fast-forwarded our project’s platform to the next level (while contributing by fixing bugs in SAP newest products and libraries btw). This is just an example of his very high quality work, attention to detail, accurate remarks and creativity.
He maintained a great relationship with every member of the company and also showed himself patient, sensitive and positive during difficult times; showing to me once more how his human qualities are as developed as his technical ones.
In a nutshell, a charismatic and excellent up-to-date senior developer; a fantastic person to work with.”*

“I’ve worked with Steven on a challenging MDG implementation and S/4 Hana SAP project. Steven was the kind of person that had a good and decent solution for all problems we came across in our developments. Steven really thinks about the development that is needed and the right strategy and even design pattern he could use for that. As well as making sure that extending afterwards will not be a pain. Steven his developments are very good written and because of this, it’s easier for another developer to take over an existing development and/or extend it. Steven not only stands out with his technical skills but also added value as a person to the team. Not only is Steven a great developer, he was also a great mentor to myself and I’ve learned a lot from Steven on the project we worked together.”
