Testimonials
Adrian Lara Moreno
CTO at MIT Technology Review award receiving German startup HOLOPLOT
Having Irina on our Team was an investment in quality and time. Not only did her simplicity and good eye for design fit really well Holoplot's philosophy, but within a few weeks Irina from scratch designed and drafted the whole software flow. With the collaboration of our developers, we were then able to get a beta product within the first month.
