3 people have recommended Traian

"Traian has been the virtual definition of a self starter, both finding problems and autonomously solving them
as well. Qualities and traits that entrepreneurial pursuits and start-ups desperately need but are often lacking.
It's been a pleasure working with Traian. "
Reggie Middleton, managed Traian
"Traian is the kind of guy Google and other highly innovative companies are looking for. Smart, oriented
towards understanding the business needs and finding most efficient solution to getting the job done."
Cristian Serban, Senior Application Security Analyst, Betfair, worked directly with Traian at Betfair
"I had the pleasure of working with Traian in the same team for about one year. He is a motivated, thorough,
highly skilled professional with extensive software development experience and a very good team player.

definitely get the job done."
