« Outstanding individual. An amazing developer and an analytical thinker capable of working with ideas and bringing them to fruition. He was integral to the success of my products and my company. »
« A brilliant person, and has more than met all the expectations we had for his position. He showed a great sense of responsibility and loyalty and was able to fulfill all his objectives, even when he was working remotely for us. Not only did he master all the technical aspects of his work, but he was also successful in maintaining good customer relationship. Everyone at Pierlis was also appreciating him as a person. »
« My cofounder and I were non-technical and needed someone to help us bring our vision to life. Cyrille came on during the earliest days of Blueboard and built the whole v1 of the platform by himself. It enabled us to bring on our first 15 customers, and ultimately, to secure admission into the 500 Global accelerator. We wouldn't be here without Cyrille - beyond working together on the business side, we had fun along the way. I couldn't ask for anything more and would gladly work with Cyrille again in the future. »
« Cyrille is a talented developer & teacher, his knowledge of Ruby, JavaScript and modern web development is unrivalled. He can adapt quickly to different scenarios, is always positive and forward thinking with solutions and ideas. »
« Cyrille is a natural-born educator whose talent for teaching is unmistakable. During our collaboration at the launch of Le Wagon in Portugal, his abilities became evident. Cyrille is the kind of professional you trust implicitly; he consistently delivers with 100% commitment. Beyond his impressive technical knowledge, Cyrille possesses an emotional intelligence, a quality that sets him apart. His blend of technical skill and empathetic teaching and cool demeanour elevate the learning experience. Whether as a teacher, colleague, mentor, or partner, Cyrille is an invaluable asset. I wholeheartedly recommend him for any role that leverages his multifaceted talents. »
