Let's meet the brains behind the apps shall we?

Hubert Gajewski, Web Developer (Rotterdam, Netherlands)

Before joining Lizard Global, Hubert had spent years working as an architect, designing spaces and planning structures with precision. But deep down, a curiosity for coding had always lingered. The structure and creativity involved in programming intrigued him, and soon that curiosity grew into a passion. It wasn’t long before he decided to take a leap and pursue a career change.

That decision led him to a pivotal moment at a networking event. In the midst of meeting various professionals, Hubert found himself in a conversation with Jeremy Raes, CEO & co-founder and Kaz, Head of Product Owners at Lizard Global. Hubert shared his aspirations of moving into software development, and Jeremy, recognizing his potential, decided to give him a chance. “The road wasn’t easy,” Hubert recalled, “but it was worth it. I’m truly grateful for that opportunity.”

Starting at Lizard Global was both thrilling and daunting. This was Hubert’s first software development role, and he was venturing into uncharted territory. However, the company’s atmosphere was warm and supportive from day one. The team was full of fun and welcoming people, and that sense of camaraderie helped ease Hubert into his new career. “First of all, it’s the people,” Hubert would tell anyone who asked why he loved working there. “The team is fantastic, and the atmosphere is just great.”

Over the next two years, Hubert threw himself into learning. From mastering the frameworks used at Lizard Global to collaborating effectively with his colleagues, he felt himself growing as a developer. What kept him motivated was not just the work but the company’s flexible and stress-free environment. Hubert was thriving, and Lizard Global had become the perfect place for him to nurture his new skills.

Working with the international team added an exciting layer to his experience. One of the standout moments was his first trip to Asia for a company event in Bali. “The Bali party was a highlight,” Hubert remembered fondly. “It was my first time in Asia, and it was incredibly fun. The team bonded over great food, music, and laughter, and it was an unforgettable experience.” That sense of community extended beyond company trips. One of Hubert’s favorite memories was a potluck party organized by Sofia, a colleague known for bringing everyone together. “Everyone brought amazing dishes from their cultures, and I’ve never been so full,” Hubert laughed. “We partied way too late into the night, but it was so great.”

Among the projects Hubert worked on, Aposto! stood out the most. It was his first major project at Lizard Global, and it was incredibly complex. Initially, the challenges seemed overwhelming, but as he grew more comfortable with the technologies and frameworks, those challenges turned into rewarding experiences. Over the two years he spent on Aposto!, the team made remarkable progress, onboarding new clients and eventually working toward migrating the project to a new tech stack. “It’s been a lot of work, but so rewarding,” Hubert reflected. “I’ve spent the most time on this project, and seeing the improvements we’ve made has been incredible.”

Lizard Global is more than just a job to Hubert—it was a place of growth, learning, and connection. The supportive environment, the opportunity to work with cutting-edge technology, and the close-knit team made every day worthwhile. “If you’re considering joining, go for it!” he often encourages others. “Lizard Global offers a fantastic team, a supportive environment, and so many opportunities to grow your skills. It’s been the best career decision I’ve made.”

For Hubert, the journey from architecture to web development had been filled with challenges, but the memories, growth, and friendships he had gained along the way made it all worth it. And as he looked ahead to the future, he knew there was still so much more to explore and achieve at Lizard Global.

Joan, Developer (Rotterdam, Netherlands)

In his final year of studying software engineering, Joan was searching for something beyond the ordinary—a chance to apply his skills in a challenging environment, while gaining international experience. That opportunity came when he attended a presentation at his university about a company called Lizard Global. What intrigued him wasn’t just the technical side of the job, but the global, multicultural atmosphere they promoted. He was hooked from the start.

“I wanted an international experience,” Joan said, thinking back to that moment. He knew that Lizard Global could offer him something special—an environment filled with diverse perspectives and fresh approaches to problem-solving. That’s what made him apply, and to his delight, he was soon welcomed into the team.

In his first year at Lizard Global, Joan quickly became immersed in the company’s dynamic culture. From day one, it was clear that Lizard Global wasn’t like any other place he had experienced before. The sheer diversity of people stood out immediately. “Few companies have such a diversity of people, and with that comes varying points of view and angles of attack to a problem,” Joan often said. Every new project introduced him to not only new technologies, but also fresh perspectives from colleagues all around the world. It was that blend of cultures and ideas that kept the work exciting and pushed him to think outside the box.

His first major project, War Additional Premium Application (WAPA), was especially memorable. As his introduction to the world of professional software development, it carried its own set of challenges. But for Joan, that’s what made it so fulfilling. He spent the most time on WAPA compared to other projects and felt a deep sense of accomplishment as he saw it grow. “It’s quite useful and purposeful,” Joan noted with pride. Working on WAPA not only honed his technical skills but also reinforced why he had chosen to join Lizard Global in the first place—real work with real impact.

Beyond the professional challenges, though, it was the people that made his experience stand out. The team at Lizard Global was filled with personalities from all corners of the globe, each bringing their unique approaches and insights to every project. That kind of collaboration was a rare find, and Joan thrived in it. “The people and their diversity. The work and its challenges. That’s what makes Lizard Global special.”

One of the highlights of Joan’s first year came outside the office, in the form of a company party in Bali. It was his first time visiting the Indonesian island, and the experience was nothing short of unforgettable. “Bali. The party.” The memories of the team bonding, celebrating their hard work, and enjoying the vibrant atmosphere stuck with him. It was moments like those that reinforced the unique culture of Lizard Global—where hard work and fun went hand-in-hand.

Reflecting on his first year, Joan often said, “Lizard Global is awesome. It’s not for everyone, but if you like having fun and challenging yourself, you would definitely fit in.” The balance of working with cutting-edge technologies, tackling meaningful projects, and engaging with a diverse, supportive team made Lizard Global a perfect fit for him.

Now, one year into his journey at Lizard Global, Joan was excited for the future. There were more projects on the horizon, more technologies to learn, and, most importantly, more people to meet. And with Lizard Global, every day feels like another step in an exciting, fulfilling adventure.

Niezwan (Wan), Software Engineer (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia)

After completing a year as a software engineer at Lizard Global, Wan had already developed a deep connection with the company. It all started when he heard about an open position from his friend Izzie, who encouraged him to apply. Having worked with Lizard Global before, Wan was already familiar with the company's culture and environment, which made the decision to apply an easy one. He sent over his resume and quickly found himself rejoining the team, excited to take on new challenges.

Working at Lizard Global felt like returning home for Wan. There was a strong sense of teamwork and collaboration among his colleagues, and that was something he appreciated the most. Every project was a team effort, and the way everyone supported each other created a positive and motivating atmosphere. But it wasn’t just the people; it was the way the company encouraged innovation. Lizard Global actively pushed its employees to experiment with the latest technologies, giving them the freedom to explore new ideas and solutions. Wan thrived in this environment, where creativity and flexibility were part of the daily routine.

The flexibility Lizard Global offered was another aspect that made Wan’s work-life balance manageable. Whether it was adjusting his work hours or working remotely, the company provided the freedom he needed to balance his personal commitments with his professional responsibilities. That level of trust and flexibility not only made him more productive but also deepened his loyalty to the team.

During his time at Lizard Global, Wan had grown both personally and professionally. He learned how to collaborate efficiently and manage timelines effectively, ensuring that projects were delivered on schedule and within scope. His technical skills, especially in backend development, had also improved significantly. He felt more confident in his abilities, knowing that his growth was supported by the resources and encouragement of the company.

One of the most rewarding projects Wan worked on was Transvision. It was a complex endeavor, involving multiple products under one service, and required him to manage interconnected systems across various platforms. It was challenging, but also incredibly fulfilling. The experience taught him how to handle large-scale integration and coordination, making him a more versatile engineer.

What makes Lizard Global truly unique, though, was the environment it fostered. New ideas were not just welcomed; they were encouraged. Whether it was contributing to a new project or proposing a fresh solution, Wan always felt like his voice was heard. That level of inclusiveness was rare, and it made him feel like an integral part of the team.

Outside of work, Wan also enjoyed the company’s monthly celebrations and game nights. These events brought the team closer together, helping them unwind and bond over shared experiences. It wasn’t just about working hard; it was about having fun and enjoying the journey together.

Looking back on his year at Lizard Global, Wan felt incredibly fulfilled. “Here, you'll find a dynamic and inclusive environment where your ideas are valued and your potential is nurtured,” he often told friends who were curious about the company. “The opportunities for growth and development are abundant, supported by a culture that fosters innovation and collaboration.”

Abdul Hafizurrahman (Hafiz), Senior Developer (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia)

As a senior developer, Hafiz had spent a good part of his career working as a freelance software developer for Hiroshi Aki Solutions. He had collaborated with major clients, including OCBC Bank, but despite the success he found in freelancing, something was missing. The structure, the camaraderie, and the opportunity to grow within a company were things he craved. It wasn’t until a friend told him about Lizard Global that Hafiz felt the pull to make a change.

His friend had described Lizard Global as one of the best software development companies around, and after doing some research of his own, Hafiz was convinced. He decided to join, drawn in by the company's reputation and intrigued by the idea of working for an organization that combined fast-paced projects with an emphasis on quality and innovation.

From his very first day at Lizard Global, Hafiz knew he had made the right choice. The flexibility of working from home, the dynamic culture, and the collaborative environment all contributed to making his transition smooth. The company allowed him the freedom to expand his skill set, constantly challenging him to learn more while also fostering a team-driven approach. He admired his leaders and colleagues, recognizing the support system they had built. It was clear that Lizard Global valued not only their clients but also the well-being of their team.

Hafiz quickly realized how much he had grown in just a year. His coding became cleaner, more efficient, and his design capabilities had improved significantly. Beyond the technical side, he also opened up socially, enjoying the chance to interact and collaborate with coworkers from different departments. Ideas flowed freely at Lizard Global, and it felt like everyone’s input was valued. This wasn’t just a place to work; it was a place to thrive.

One project, in particular, stood out to Hafiz—SHFT. He described it as the best and most easygoing team and client he had worked with. It was the perfect mix of professional challenges and enjoyable collaboration, which kept him motivated every day. He also dove into his own research on AI, eager to explore new technologies and contribute to the development of the new Lizard Global website. The environment allowed him to balance work with his passions, and he appreciated how Lizard Global encouraged that.

Outside of work, Hafiz relished the vibrant company culture. The Friday parties and BBQ events were highlights, offering a break from the workweek and a chance to unwind with the team. These moments of celebration reminded him that Lizard Global wasn’t just about work; it was about creating a community.

Reflecting on his year with the company, Hafiz often said, “This is the best company to work for. It’s fast work-oriented, but more structured and organized than the corporations I’ve worked with. The WFH flexibility is a game-changer.” He joked that the company should definitely maintain that aspect, as it had made a huge difference in his work-life balance.

Hafiz knew that joining Lizard Global had been one of the best decisions of his career. The company had given him the freedom to grow, the flexibility to manage his work, and the community to support him through it all. For him, this was just the beginning of an exciting journey with a company that truly understood how to nurture both talent and well-being.

Navin, Software Engineer (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia)

As a software engineer, Navin had spent almost a year at Lizard Global, and his journey to the company had been an interesting one. Before joining, he had worked at Etiqa as a developer, but after some time, he started feeling the need for a new challenge, something that would push him beyond his comfort zone. It was during this search for fresh opportunities that a headhunter reached out to him, mentioning an exciting position at Lizard Global. Intrigued by the chance to work on multiple projects and expand his knowledge of the latest technology stacks, Navin decided to take the leap.

From the moment he stepped into Lizard Global, Navin knew it was the right move. The company’s culture was dynamic, and the opportunity to work on various projects simultaneously kept things exciting. There was never a dull moment, and every project offered something new to learn. He appreciated the fast-paced environment where he could sharpen his skills while juggling different responsibilities.

One of the key things he had developed over his time at Lizard Global was time management. With so many projects on his plate, it was essential to stay organized and efficient. But instead of feeling overwhelmed, Navin found that the support from his team and the collaborative culture helped him stay on top of everything. It was a place where people helped each other grow, and he thrived in that environment.

His first major project, AffLink, was a significant milestone in his career. As the lead developer, Navin had the chance to oversee the project from start to finish. It wasn’t just about coding; it was about leadership, managing timelines, and ensuring everything ran smoothly. AffLink challenged him in ways he hadn’t experienced before, but it also made him a better engineer and leader. The sense of accomplishment he felt when the project was successfully delivered was unforgettable.

Beyond the technical aspects of the job, one of the things Navin enjoyed most about Lizard Global was the opportunity to work with people from all over the world. The multicultural environment brought together diverse perspectives, and every team member contributed something unique. It wasn’t just about solving problems—it was about understanding different viewpoints and learning from them.

Of course, it wasn’t all work. The company trip to Bali had been a highlight of his time at Lizard Global. It was a chance to relax, bond with colleagues outside of work, and enjoy the beauty of Asia for the first time. The memories from that trip, filled with laughter and adventure, stuck with him, reminding him that Lizard Global was more than just a workplace—it was a community.

Looking back on his first year, Navin often reflected on how much he had grown. “Lizard Global is a great place to experience working on multiple projects concurrently with multicultural people,” he said. The exposure to various projects had made him a more versatile developer, and the supportive, diverse environment had broadened his worldview.

For Navin, Lizard Global isn’t just a company—it was an opportunity to grow both professionally and personally. He knew there were still many challenges ahead, but with the culture and team he had behind him, he was excited to continue his journey.

Aaron, Software Developer (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia)

After spending five months as an intern and another ten months as a full-time software developer at Lizard Global, Aaron reflected on the incredible journey that had brought him to the company. It all began back in France when he was a student at Polytech Montpellier. During a company presentation by Jeremy and Kaz, Lizard Global immediately caught his attention. They spoke passionately about their work, and the fact that Lizard Global had an office in Kuala Lumpur piqued his interest, especially since Aaron was originally from Malaysia. Hearing positive feedback from previous classmates about their internships at Lizard Global sealed the deal. It wasn’t a hard decision to apply, and soon after, Aaron was on board.

From the start, Aaron found himself in a pleasant working environment. His colleagues were open-minded, serious about their work, but they also knew how to relax and have fun. It was this balance that made the workplace feel both professional and welcoming. Whether discussing code or laughing together during lunch breaks, Aaron appreciated the team’s camaraderie and the fact that they could easily switch between focus and fun.

During his time at Lizard Global, Aaron grew not only as a developer but also as a team player. The advice and guidance from senior developers taught him valuable lessons about best practices, teamwork, communication, and time management. These were crucial skills, especially since he had the opportunity to work on four different projects: Peco Douwes, Transvision, Hitachi, and AffLink. Each of these projects offered unique experiences, but the ones he was most proud of were Peco Douwes, Hitachi, and AffLink, as he had been involved from the very beginning, seeing them through from start to finish. Delivering successful products that garnered 5-star ratings on Clutch was a moment of pride for him.

Transvision, on the other hand, was a different kind of challenge. It was an ongoing project with a massive codebase and a significant number of users. Working on it required a deeper understanding of complex features and systems, and Aaron relished the opportunity to be part of something that big. The experience he gained from tackling such a large project enhanced his problem-solving abilities and made him more adaptable as a developer.

One of the aspects Aaron values most about Lizard Global was the lack of strict hierarchy. It made communication across all levels easier and less stressful. Whether it was discussing project ideas with team leaders or casually chatting with colleagues during Friday hangouts, the open atmosphere made everyone feel like they were part of something bigger. He enjoyed the company’s monthly celebrations, which allowed the team to unwind together, but one event stood out above the rest—Lizard Global’s 10th anniversary celebration in Bali. The entire company came together to celebrate their achievements in a stunning location. For Aaron, it was a standout experience, an unforgettable trip that highlighted the strength of the Lizard Global community.

Looking back on his journey, Aaron was grateful for the opportunities and experiences he had at Lizard Global. The company’s friendly, collaborative, and fun environment made him feel at ease, while also giving him the chance to work on impactful projects for both large and small clients. It had been a rewarding adventure so far, and Aaron was excited for what was to come.
