2023 (Estonia)

I’m happy to write a recommendation for Mike, a colleague I’ve had the pleasure of working closely with at the WebLock team.
Mike is not only highly professional and organized but also incredibly methodical in his approach. His attention to detail and systematic work style ensure that tasks are completed efficiently and accurately. What sets Mike apart is his ability to balance innovation with practicality, making him both creative and pragmatic in his work.

Mike is quick, precise, and always hands-on, consistently delivering high-quality results. His empathetic nature and occasional (and admittedly cheesy) dad-jokes help maintain a positive and a friendly working environment for everyone around him.

In addition to his professional skills, Mike is a fantastic team player and a reliable friend. He readily collaborates with others, offering support and guidance whenever needed. Mike’s approachable personality and genuine kindness make him a joy to work with.

I wholeheartedly recommend Mike, confident that his professional expertise and friendly disposition make him a valuable asset to any organization. He would undoubtedly be an excellent addition to any team.

2023 (Estonia)

Michael is an incredibly versatile and creative person. Once he becomes interested in an idea or technology, he will dig deep to understand it on an advance user level (at lest) and will enthusiastically share the knowledge he has acquired.
 He has great attention to detail, every little thing will be checked out and tested, and made use of.
His passion for knowledge is practical, he will immediately put new principles and instruments to work, to advance whatever product or project he is working on currently.
He is happy to share the knowledge, to teach what he has himself learned, and prompts others to use new things to their advantage, to work smarter, faster, in a more efficient way.
He is a great colleague, both as a professional and a person: he is very comfortable to be around and to share a project with, very attentive, very supportive, happy both to learn and to teach.

2023 (Estonia)

Working with Mike was a short and sweet journey, during which it was clear from the first steps the immense professional knowledge, passion and empathy he brought to the team.

Mike is a rare gem who cared for his team at the same level as one would for their kids, which was completely natural to him and enabled him to really empower, make shine and help bring out the best in the people around him. He took action to solve any problems, be it in documentation and communication management, and always focused on solutions.

Furthermore Mike has completely unexpected ways of bringing value to the team – be it creating the PMO team’s first (legendary) animated musical video or just convincing the team to order lunch from Gotsu.

I am fully confident that any team having Mike should consider them to be extremely lucky. If all the teams had their Mike, the world would be a much better place.

By far one of the most fun guys I’ve ever worked with – and somehow he managed to get the job (very well) done. Always been willing to support his colleagues, lending a helping hand. Unafraid of challenges and taking a more serious stance if needed, but always with a small on his face and with an incredible focus on the people around him and their well-being.

I still haven’t forgiven him for changing jobs, though.

Mr. Michael Maton is the dream of every manager. This is the person who executes no matter how crazy ones vision is, he makes that happen by starting to use his excellent researcher skills, then writes a through product description, calculates estimation of the product and then set’s a goal to himself. He has so many qualities that makes him one of the best team player for example, he’s always happy and with ” let’s do this!” attitude.
    
He never misses his deadlines, even if the manager tells it’s okay to be late few days. He is one of the hardest working product owner/video editor/e-commerce manager/self leader/business minded and friendly person to be around. Wish you all the best to your big future in technology.

It was my absolute pleasure to work with Mike at Eesti Energia. We worked together in a same team where Mike was a project manager. Michael has a very positive attitude, he has a great energy and enthusiasm. As a person he is very friendly, he has a great sense of humour so it was always very enjoyable to work with him. I very much enjoyed our daily conversations especially when he was speaking in Estonian language. His Estonian is actually coming along very nicely. This kind of effort did not go unnoticed as our team was English speaking team so therefore there was no real need for him to speak in Estonian. This demonstrates his commitment to the team and to his work. And when it comes to his work, Mike is extremely professional and his attention is always focused to the detail.
