I should have posted earlier, but for what it's worth, here's a character reference: Ivan is one of the most hard-working people I have ever met. He aware of what he capable of, and is constantly striving to improve his skills. I had the opportunity to work with him on a project and would gladly work with him again in the future. He's brutally honest, but never comes off as rude. In an argument he will always give your side some fair thought even when he disagrees with you completely. Every time I meet him I am impressed (and slightly envious) by the progress he's made in his ability and projects. So if you're looking to hire someone for a challenging and interesting project, he comes highly recommended.
