Ozge Ozcan

Business Analyst

He is a calm, kind, and knowledgeable person. He is one of the best teammates I ever worked with. He is a good listener; he listens to everyone and answers their questions and helps his teammates any time they need. Even if he has work to do, he stops and spends time with his team. He is very capable of what he is doing and this makes teams' life easier especially for PM, BA, and QA roles. I'd like to work with him in the future.

Pradip Patel

Lead UX/UI

Rowley is a consummate professional, always ready to help where he can and very adaptive to various types of projects. As a FE developer, you want someone you can discuss the designs with and potentially develop them with, and that person was Rowley. At the other end of the spectrum he was at hand to roll his sleeves up and help implement our new e-commerce funnel that had many limitations; he was able to adapt and push and bend the environment where he could to build the best possible experience.

Nick Bowman

Technical Solutions Architect

Rowley has worked at Mulberry on several occasions over the last couple of years and each time he slotted right into the team and helped us to deliver the UI on a variety of different sized projects. His meticulous attention to detail, coupled with his zen-like personality, made for a great colleague each time Rowley worked for us. He has a great ability to work under his own steam and was able to get on with projects with little to no supervision - his knowledge of the Hybris platform and all of our systems that we use to develop on it meant that we were able to give the UI work over and know that Rowley would get straight on with it and present back in a timely fashion a quality of work that matched the brand.
