Over the years that I have known Guido he has always appeared very ambitious in my eyes. Even as a student where regular people who look for a job at a local retailer he was involved in international IT projects which revenues by far exceeding his peers. You should take all this into the perspective of him being a young trendy student with many friends and parties every week. However, he is more mature than his fellow students because he puts his job before his personal life when there is deadline. Imagine anyone his age being this professional now already, imagine what he could grow into. He has cross-platform experience, knows his limits and is a dedicated and passionate person, which is visible in his work.

Guido and I worked on a project on school for Mjuks Happens. In this project Guido showed he was an expert in both development and (3d) design. Guido made sure we were able to film at exclusive locations for our project, helped me to learn 3D Studio Max and gave tips and advice for my own portfolio. In the end Guido was an essential group member and we couldn't have done it without him.
