Ozan is both thorough and passionate in his work. Ozan proactively engages the specifications he receives, diligently calling out blockers or previously unanticipated edge-cases early to ensure our sprints are adequately planned and the quality of the product is unquestionable.

Ozan is a terrific member of any engineering team! He has plenty of confidence to dive into new code, and solve new problems; but recognizes if he needs assistance without wasting any time. He has a natural talent for problem solving, and is a great person for discussing high and low level design ideas.
