Fernando is truly one-of-a-kind. While working with Fernando at Libboo I had the pleasure of learning from his research techniques and his ability to add incomparable insight to any problem or discussion that our team was having. Fernando was a mentor to me since my first day at Libboo and helped me to carve out my own role within the team. He is meticulous in his research, thoughtful in the way he offers assistance or support, ingenious in the way he problem solves, and empowering in the way he encourages others to take initiative, think outside the box, and offer creative solutions.
