One of the best leaders I have had. He knows how to listen different ideas, takes them in consideration, and executes them efficiently. He is not bothered by explaining several times to different or same people, always focusing on the growth of both developers and the team in general. He has a surprising knowledge of lots of technologies and different ways on resolving problems.
