The developer is a natural-born quick learner, who grasped all the details of the back-end architecture from my internal team leader in a pretty quick way. After some time Sergey worked as if he was a part of the team from the very beginning.

Despite the fact the management was set on my side, the developer was quite pro-active, offering effective suggestions based on his rich experience in order to improve the overall management process (like long-term system and workload planning).
