“Emil felt like a true member of our product team—he joined standups, asked the right questions, and his docs launched in lockstep with every release.” — Adam N., Director of Product
“I never had to explain how our process worked—Emil jumped right in and collaborated seamlessly with design and engineering.” — Kevin R., Software Engineer
"Over the past two years, Emil has consulted me for numerous papers and research proposals. Emil used his experience in the financial and IT industries to empower my writing and proposals. Emil has many creative ideas regarding organizing my work in a clear and concise manner. He is always supportive of my questions and concerns, even when he has a significant workload. I recall a time when I was in Dublin, Ireland, and Emil devoted multiple evenings towards ensuring that my proposals met or exceeded expectations. He is a tremendous business writer who has made great contributions towards editing grant proposals for both non-native English speakers as well as people like myself, who devote the majority of their time toward research instead of writing craft. I look forward to working with him in the future."
"Emil is multi-talented, very creative and puts his heart and soul in any tasks assigned to him. I have approached him multiple times, for proof reading/editing my papers for school, and he has always amazed me with his skills. He is thorough, quick, and can easily relate to the topic or subject of the paper from any discipline. He gives valuable and practical suggestions for improvement of the writing. I highly recommend him for anyone who is looking for feedback/editing/proofreading of their writing, and want a quick, thoughtful and relevant editing."
