Ivan Karaman is a Quality at Canva. Colleagues describe them as "During my studies I had found Ivan incredibly insightful as his knowledge of not only the foundational fundamentals but advanced principals and concepts incredibly inspiring. His knowledge of programming and coding had a tremendous positive impact on my education.  Ivan is able to clearly communicate where I was going wrong but also help me to understand why what I was doing was not wrong but he gave me opportunity to improve my work without too much hand-holding. He made me think clearly about my goals and help me break down how to solve coding problems and systematically think of logical solutions to such problems.  Ivan showed me great support for my learning experience as he was patient with my learning and constantly giving me real world analogies to help my understanding of complex principles. The outcome of his coaching gave me a much better understanding of coding and the tools necessary for me to excel and reach difficult milestones in my academic journey." and "As a Principal Engineer and as a Mentor, Ivan has played a major role in my testing career. He helped me think "WHY" I am doing this work. Ivan's passion for testing and his dedication has helped me a lot. Another aspect that impacted me more is his growth mindset and constantly challenging nature. I have worked with Ivan on multiple projects. He made sure he communicated with me well ahead so that no late messes happen. Ivan is always ready to listen to my problems and give practical guidance. As I said above communication is the key with Ivan. We had weekly catchup that talks about my health and wellbeing, We had regular catchup then and there at least twice a week that talks about my project issues. Ivan has created a safe and open environment where I felt comfortable asking questions and getting support. Mostly clarifying my doubts and sharing my thoughts and concerns. p.s, I have started asking a lot of WHY questions."
