Abilities

Erhan is so passionate about software development and doing it in the best way by following the contemporary techniques and methodologies. He always reads, reviews and codes to make his skills sharper and sharper and best of all he is so focused on his job. I've worked enough with him to see his perfectionist style not only in work but also in everything he does. You don't need to worry about if he is busy or not. When he finishes his assignment; you will be sure that he will come and tell you “I don't have anything to do, please assign me new issues” and the task he did will be well tested and most of the time bug free.
We've worked together with Erhan in an independent mobile application project called Pineappy. He was the backend developer and server administrator where I've been managing the project and in charge of designs. He has never missed a deadline of tasks. Erhan is easy to communicate with as he is clear and direct. The best thing about him was that he loves what he is doing and he tries to find out the best ways to create software architecture and to solve a problem during development. It was definitely pleasant to work with him.
Erhan is a good team member. It has always been a pleasure for me to work with him. When it comes to work, he is honest, dedicated, trustworthy and reliable. He has good time management skills, analytical and strategic thinking skills.
Erhan is fast and task focused developer who understands the needs of a project. If your project runs on a strict time line and code the quality is still a must I can definitely recommend him for any size of project. It was a pleasure to work with him.
