Recommendations
Leitha Matz
After working with Arman for more than a year, and I can only recommend his abilities, motivation, team spirit and adaptability. With finmarie, he leads a variety of projects, including native app development, particularly in launching and improving our Android app. He also collaborates with the marketing group on tracking and technical SEO, and he engineered a complex system to guide our customers and coaches through a multi-stage onboarding and client management process that focuses on data privacy and good user experience, integrating multiple internal and external systems in the process. I know I can always rely on him to work independently and do quality work on anything we need to accomplish. Alongside his impeccable professionalism, he’s also simply a lovely person to work with.

Arman is a senior software engineer with self-taught and deep technical skills.
We have worked together on various projects such as Bazyad and Memorit, where he focused on making things happen, downright with contagious energy, helping the team achieve great goals. He is a great team player and a problem-solver. Also, It’s difficult to find a team leader like him: pragmatic, efficient, modest, awesome listener.
