“Ela and I worked in the same team at Twitter. She has an outstanding ability to think critically and explore new ideas, which allow her to uncover several deep hidden issues that no one else can think of. Her ability to think outside the box sets her apart from others. In addition, She is not afraid of jumping into unfamiliar territory and will always be looking for new solutions to any problem. Last but not least, Ela is highly motivated when it comes to tackling difficult problems. With her enthusiasm, your team will have a greater chance of success!”
