In their own words
From day one, Kaan left no doubt that he is very passionate about our projects. It is a pleasure to work with him. He captivates with good ideas and an insane perseverance in solving problems... where others just call it a day, he sits until late in the evening and works on a solution! Also in private you can discuss projects with Kaan for hours, I am sure he will sooner or later turn one or the other industry upside down with his own project - he has a lot of energy and the will to create something of his own.
Marco Foof
CTO of PREA
Kaan is a highly valued employee who has quickly familiarized himself with the job. He works very diligently, correctly and pays attention to every detail. He gets involved and finds very suitable solutions to upcoming problems and is skill-wise far ahead to his years of experience. Also, he is a very humble person who everyone enjoys talking to. I am sure that he will make a great career.
