    “Work smarter not harder” is a motto Karlis lives. With his experimental approach to tasks he has found smarter ways and saved us time on several occasions. I got to know Karlis as an interested and interesting co-worker – a fast learner who loves to immerse himself in new subject matters. Perhaps a typical “generation Z” with a cheerful attitude “work should be fun”. Karlis independently supported end users and other administrators and was ready to “walk the extra mile” when required – e.g. by working long or unusual hours. Working with Karlis has been a pleasure and I can full-heartedly recommend him to any future employer.

      "Karlis is clearly a very skilled engineer and did an excellent job - he understood the problem really well and identified a thorough, creative solution. After an initial discussion, he was able to work on the project independently without any further input from myself. The results were exactly what I was looking for, on time and of great quality. I hope I can find some more for him to do in the future - I would look forward to working with him again!"

        "It was a lot of fun working with Karlis. He was enthusiastic, energetic, and actively sought to push through complications and road blocks with constructive and creative ideas. He was able to engineer a solution that was a fraction of the cost of what we were otherwise considering. Looking forward to finding another project to work together on."
