“Great working with Lev and team at MetaMindz! We were working on a project to build new features in our mobile app. Lev was brilliant with managing the project and supporting the definition of tasks to complete with his insight on the user experience. The dev team was very responsive throughout by sharing updates on both Slack and our project management board in Asana. I look forward to continuing to work with MetaMindz in the future.” source
