Nice things people have to say

Dominic Baggott

Tekin, as tech lead, helped us deliver two major projects successfully. His contribution to our projects and our teams was invaluable, and he has left a lasting impression on the developers he worked with as a role model for technical leadership. Whether you need him to deliver critical software features, lead a team, or help build the capability of your organisation, you will be incredibly well served by Tekin.

Neil Williams

Tekin is among the best developers I’ve ever worked with. Creative, capable and committed, Tekin brings intelligent challenge and can-do attitude in perfect balance to help you get the thing done and to do the thing right. He’s also highly personable and has the total respect of his peers. I’d hire him again in a heartbeat.

Neil Williams, Head of GOV.UK
Olly Heady

Tekin worked with FreeAgent during 2012 and delivered several popular features. His positive and professional attitude, strong technical expertise and ability to quickly gain domain knowledge were a real asset to the business. We were sad to see him go!

Tom Loosemore

Tekin is that rare combination of a great technologist who is also passionate about understanding the needs of all users.

Brad Wright

Tekin was a vital part of the GOV.UK team for 2 years, working in several of our product teams. His personable nature, impressive work ethic and deep knowledge of Ruby and Rails would be vital on their own, but together make a formidable package.

Bradley Wright, Head of Technology, GDS
Ric Roberts

Tekin’s deep understanding of engineering principles, along with his professional but friendly approach would make him an asset to any team.

Brandon Burton

When I first started learning to code Tekin offered to mentor me, meeting me once a week to talk through problems, set challenges and recommend next steps. Eventually he convinced me to give a talk on my experiences learning to code; that talk led to my first job as a developer. Tekin has been, and still is, instrumental in helping me develop my career as a software developer. Anyone would be lucky to learn from him.
