Michel is brillant, humble, kind, thoughtful and an absolute pleasure to work with. During our 80 hour micro consulting engagement, we've all learned so much from him. Michel is able to quickly understand business problems and how they present in code. Michel has an amazing knack for improving the developer experience. He can envision patterns and clean interfaces early. In short, Michel is a fantastic person and I am lucky to have been able to work alongside him.
