Founder reviews

Michael is the founder of Lucid Tech and over his career he led the development of impressive projects, founded or backed by ex-Revolut, ex-Spotify engineers

Bhasker Rao
Chief Risk Officer - Revolut
“Michael was one of our early stage engineers and helped us accomplish amazing things from day one with our CTO on a daily basis and delivering everything from backend to frontend solutions including the end to end development of our webhook solution, which continues to be a critical feature of our product.

Michael has always been a culture carrier and displayed high levels of self motivations and a strong will to win. His natural curiosity to solving problems has been inspirational to the wider team. I could not recommend to him enough."
Martin Gould
Head of Product, Spotify
"Michael is a fantastic full-stack engineer, who has made a big impact at This One. His greatest strengths are his speed of execution, the breadth of his skills/knowledge, and his drive to learn new things.Michael's main projects at This

One were building our MVP, onboarding our first customers, and iterating our product based on customer feedback. He built our MVP within 2 weeks, which enabled us to start collecting real-world learnings very quickly.

He then iterated on this initial MVP, to create a full technology solution within the first 3 months.Throughout this process, Michael performed important technology selection decisions, built working prototypes, and improved our product via fast iteration cycles. He kept our running costs very low, and ensured we always had good up-time and low latency.

I strongly endorse Michael's impressive skill-set and can-do attitude, for start-ups and established companies alike."
Sergey Ledenev
Lead Software Engineer, Revolut
I had the pleasure of working closely with Michael Perju for the past four months, and I highly recommend him as a skilled software engineer.

Michael excels in both front-end and back-end development, consistently delivering high-quality work within tight deadlines. His ability to seamlessly transition between these areas showcases his versatility and deep understanding of the entire development process.

Michael is not only a proficient coder but also a great team player. His positive mindset, creativity, and strong work ethic make him a valuable asset to any project.

I wholeheartedly recommend Michael Perju for his technical expertise, commitment to excellence, and collaborative approach to software development.
Johnny Hunter
Data Scientist, Linktree
"Michael single-handedly built a new product for us at This One. He went from zero to MVP in a couple of weeks, and then built a fully-formed product within 3 months. To do this, he worked across the entire stack and a wide variety of technologies - including Javascript, HTML, CSS, React, Python, MongoDB and Google Cloud.

He did all this while responding to customer feedback and navigating changes in product direction along the way.Michael was an absolute joy to work with. He possesses an immense technical skillset, seriously amazing speed of execution, an awesome willingness and ability to learn, and a personal affability and maturity.

I've worked with many engineers in my career, and Michael is without doubt among the top few. If you get the chance to work with him, I'd strongly recommend that you do!"

Dmitri Persiianov

Clear and effective communication style was well-received by the team, enhancing our collaboration. He delivered important features requested by customers to our API product way before the deadline.

Michael is a versatile engineer and not afraid to jump into unfamiliar areas. He learns quickly, communicates on his progress, thinks out of the box and delivers the result."
