The following feedback was left for me after my time at Poki:
āPaul has been a hardworking, knowledgeable but above all bright and enthusiastic part of the team at Poki. His eye for games in general has helped multiple game developer teams improve their experience and has helped them create better games. In the process, Paul has developed his knowledge on Web games and has helped us develop our knowledge base by helping out with new research projects.ā
