Amit Paunikar, Principle Product Manager @ Microsoft
I had the pleasure of working with Orkun for a number of years, across a number of projects for Skype and Microsoft Teams. Orkun is very easy to work with and has great attitude and skillset. He takes his time to understand the problem and comes back with multiple solutions along with reasons why he chose one approach over other. He has a no-nonsense attitude and responds very well to feedback. He is a great designer and takes his time to understand the ecosystem and competitive landscape. All in all, he gets the job done, and gets it done quickly. I recommend him highly.
Jaak Parik, Principle Design Manager @ Microsoft
Orkun gets stuff done, great skillset and no-nonsense mindset, independent, takes constructive criticism with ease, has great international background and small to large team experience. Orkun was in my team for couple years, from 2017-2019, first in Estonia then in Czech Republic.
Ramya Senkutuvan, Sr. Software Engineer @ Microsoft
I enjoyed working with Orkun on Skype. It was fun collaborating on designs for different features with him. He has very good customer empathy, and provides good design insights, to the features and the product as a whole. He is also a good listener which makes it easy to collaborate with and provide feedback. Orkun had a great impact he had on the product, Microsoft and Skype will miss him. Any company will benefit from having him on the team. 😊
Oliver Pruel, Co-founder / CTO @ BLE Locking
I was impressed with Orkun's ability to solve complex product design tasks and propose solutions to improve or simplify. New design system was created. Design workflow was set up according to our needs. New product features were designed and developed. Beautiful and clear marketing materials were created. Good communication and understanding between Orkun and BLE Locking.
