Testimonials & Recommendations
I am pleased to endorse Kavun for his programming skills. I decided to challenge him with developing a species identification tool for the database using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning. AI-based tools for species identification are rare because of their complexity. Nonetheless, Kavun was able to develop a working prototype within days.

Laura H. Carnell Professor of BiologyI presented Kavun with a customer business integration problem to implement during his summer internship. Kavun went above and beyond. He applied technical programming skills including PHP and JavaScript to not only implement the solution using our API, but built a platform around it that forms the basis of a product with real-world potential.
Michael
Sr Manager, Managed Services at DellKavun took our Atomsphere product and built new feature/functionality that no one had thought of. In addition, he stood in front of the entire team and did a wonderful demo of his work, explaining what he did and why he did it. There is no doubt that Kavun will be an asset wherever he goes. I'm already looking forward to what he does next.
Randy
Director, R&D at Dell BoomiWe are very impressed with the continually high quality of work delivered by Kavun and we strongly believe that Kavun is well equipped to grow from challenges that he is presented with. During his time at SAP, he remained focused on the tasks at hand and presented himself with a high degree of professionalism comparable to other tenured employees.
