Nik influences and motivates the other developers to get better at work, be it writing code, writing tests, or working together with the team. The work he delivers is up to the highest standards, but the influence he has on other people in the company is even more valuable for everyone.

Working with Nik is a top experience. It is like riding a bike down the hill — pure bliss. Nik has proven himself to be extremely useful in delivering our online banking in multiple countries. I enjoy working with Nik not only because of his technical skills but also because of his human qualities. Nik is highly empathetic, and he is an exceptional listener, contributes to the discussion with beneficial questions, and gives indispensable feedback. Being in the same team with Nik has helped me to become a better engineer.

Nik has a rare combination of good communication skills and deep technical knowledge. He organizes trainings to bring better code quality to the project. He is a big advocate of TDD and knows how to explain it to other developers because of his practice. I also like that he keeps himself up to date with modern technologies and software development best practices.

Nik, I wanted to tell you that you inspired us with how you do pair programming. We are trying it out in our team and enjoy it. It makes our work extremely efficient.
