I'd like to highlight my colleague Faik Yesilyaprak. His experience in software engineering and consulting allows him to communicate exceptionally well. His ability to simplify hard issues for a wide range of people and function as a bridge between the business and technical people is genuinely admirable. Beyond his professional abilities, his unique energy and optimistic attitude make him a pleasure to work with, even though we are on different teams. Faik is an excellent team player, and any team would be privileged to have him as a member.

It's always a pleasure to work with Mr. Yesilyaprak. As a consultant, he has extensive knowledge in his field and can explain complex topics clearly, even to non-technical people. I often turn to him for insights because of his unique approach. Highly recommend him!

Faik was an enthusiastic and attentive student from the very beginning. He was usually one of the first students to engage with questions and the course material, and his attention to the quality of his assignments, especially his essays, were spectacular. In addition, Faik's ability to convey abstract, complex thoughts and to support rhetorical claims is advanced and will surely pave the way for his future success in education and the workplace.

Faik is certainly remembered by me as an ambitious, enthusiastic, and hardworking student. It is no surprise that he was one of the few in his class successful enough to study in the United States. While I cannot vouch for his hard skills in software engineering, as I was his English teacher and IELTS coach, I can in good conscience recommend dear Faik for his language skills and great personality. I have no doubt that he will climb the career ladder very quickly.
