Since working with Xavier, he has consistently proven to be a great professional and a valuable member of our team.

In a field as dynamic as software development, his ability to learn and apply knowledge swiftly has enabled us to achieve important objectives from his very first weeks on the team.

Xavier is always willing to collaborate and support his colleagues, whether in individual tasks or in collaboration with other team members.

I had the chance to work closely with Xavier on a critical project for a very high-value client with an urgent deadline. Despite having joined the company only a few weeks earlier, he ramped up incredibly fast and was shipping production-quality code almost immediately.

He was the sole developer on our team and the only dev working on our project full-time, yet handled the full end-to-end implementation while staying calm and collaborative through a series of unexpected roadblocks. Thanks to his effort and technical depth, we were able to meet our deadline without compromising on quality.

Beyond his technical skills, Xavier is simply a great teammate: positive, kind, communicative, and easy to work with. He’s proactive about raising blockers, clear in async updates, and calm under pressure. Any team would be lucky to have him!

I had the privilege of working with Xavier on a backend project, and I can confidently say he is an exceptional professional. One of his most remarkable qualities is his willingness to ask key questions, always aiming to delve deeper into the details and improve the process.

Xavier knows how to pause at the right moment to ensure everyone on the team is aligned, which enriches collaboration and fosters more robust solutions. Moreover, his communication style is exemplary: respectful, thoughtful, and constructive. He often presents his ideas and observations as questions that encourage analysis and promote a positive and collaborative work environment.

Without a doubt, I would work with him again if given the opportunity. I highly recommend Xavier as a member of any team. Those fortunate enough to have him onboard will quickly realize his value as a professional and colleague.
