Cultural & Operational Fit

Cultural Fit Analysis

The candidate's personal projects indicate a self-starter attitude and a desire to solve practical problems. However, the project diversity is limited primarily to PHP utilities, which may indicate a narrow focus. The lack of team-based projects or open-source contributions makes it difficult to assess collaboration or broader cultural fit.
