I had the privilege of working side by side with Edon as we built Coreup together. For years we collaborated on websites and e-commerce projects of every scale, and I could always count on his clarity, reliability and creative problem-solving. Edon has a rare ability to move smoothly between big-picture thinking and hands-on execution, which made every project both efficient and enjoyable. More than just a great collaborator, he is someone who elevates the people around him and sets a standard for quality in everything he does.
