  • I had the luck to work with Victor side by side, we both worked on Facilit's mobile application. It always amazed me the speed which Victor was able to deliver features, while constantly keeping up super code quality. Perhaps one of the most valuable traits of good developers is one's ability to turn complexity into simplicity, and that's why Victor was able to always deliver so rapidly, he repeatedly figured out the most efficient way to accomplish his goals. I also really admired Victor's care to user interfaces, they were always so responsive and fluid, resulting in a great user experience.
