Recommendations
Vincent Schröder Engineering Manager / Product Engineer
"I had the pleasure of giving Alkin his first opportunity in the tech industry, and I'm really glad I did. He joined us at VEHICULUM as a junior frontend engineer, one of the first engineers to come on board after the company's transition, and it was clear from the start that he had something special. Alkin came from a completely different background, but he took the initiative to complete a coding bootcamp and mastered our coding challenge (before AI era!) What impressed me most was how quickly he picked things up and his motivation. He is a fast learner, curious, and passionate about frontend and fullstack engineering. On top of that, he's just a really kind person who was always grateful for the chance. I'm proud to have been part of the start of his tech journey and I'm excited to see where he goes next. Keep up the great energy, Alkin you're just getting started."
