I had the pleasure of working with Allen and Caglayan at Leesman from 2022 to 2024. Allen’s vision and strategic insight, paired with Caglayan’s execution skills and meticulous attention to detail, created a powerful synergy that helped us build an effective full-stack engineering team that was really enjoyable to work in. Together, they led the effort to deliver a high-quality survey and analytics product, under challenging conditions with significant business and legacy technology constraints.

One thing that really stood out to me was the culture Allen and Caglayan fostered within the team. From the moment I joined, it was clear that they had already earned the trust and respect of both our existing engineers and offshore development partners. When it came to hiring, they made sure new team members were seamlessly integrated, focusing not only on their skills but also on how well they fit into the team’s culture.

I hope to get the opportunity to partner with them again very soon!

I've had the pleasure of working with Allen & Caglayan on several projects. As well as being great people to work with, they have an incredible ability to deeply understand their customers' vision and goals, identifying key requirements, and tailoring their services accordingly.

They approach every situation with a results-focussed perspective, paying attention to the details to find creative solutions. With a keen eye on the future, they are always forward-thinking and looking at ways to harness emerging technologies for the benefit of their projects.

Allen & Caglayan are trusted partners in business, and I highly recommend bringing them into your organisation to build and develop your engineering capabilities and optimise your delivery processes.
