Leon is notable also for his critical thinking. He is not afraid to think outside of the box and he can see issues from multiple perspectives. Furthermore, based on the smart research questions he developed, it was clear that he gained a quick mastery of the subject matter in a relatively short time.

Leon is smart, dedicated, and has a talent for putting himself in the eyes of the user. He’s an
astute observer and deciphers patterns and behaviors that are not obviously visible at first. This
has made him an asset to our team and product, especially when it comes to identifying user
needs.
