“I hired Toma for a web developer position at LeaseLabs and knew from the first interview that he would make valuable and outsized contributions to the company—and that, he did. Throughout the two years that followed, I witnessed him consistently uplevel his skills, solve complex issues with creative strategies, and become a highly-respected individual within his department and the company. His undeniable passion to deliver his best work, question assumptions, and go above and beyond what’s expected of him inspired people around him to strive to do the same—this is a rare quality in my book. His light-hearted humor, easy-going demeanor, and ability to communicate effectively made him a sought-after developer for a teammate’s client/project. He deeply cared about his relationships and found ways to make people smile everyday. Toma wasn’t just a culture fit, he was a culture *add*. There’s no question that web development talent is everywhere but it is rare to come across someone who is both a dedicated master and lifelong student of their craft, has keen self-awareness to uphold his values as well as the company’s, and is an absolute delight of a human being. Selecting Toma to be a part of the LeaseLabs team was one of the best decisions I’ve made and any company would be extremely lucky to have him! ”
