Recommendations

Jake Toolson

Senior Director of Engineering at Shopmonkey

Nazar is an incredible person. He is a leader who many look up to and enjoy working with. Quite the force multiplier to any Engineering Team, in an IC or Management role.

Miguel Brinlee

Technical Project Manager at Automed

Nazar is a driver. He knows how to evaluate a project and brings together the resources to get results. Perhaps my favorite part of working with him is his ideas and his passion for improvement. Because of the energy he brings to his work, I actively seek opportunities to work together with this rock star.
