"Had the chance to work with Hakan on a complex CRM and digital commerce project and I do want to share words of appreciation.

Hakan did an outstanding job as a business analyst and product owner – he showed world class business and system analysis skills, has excellent knowledge and hands-on experience in agile practices and was a paragon of accountability in the team and this has been very much appreciated by the client as well.
