Doron is like a Matryoshka doll... his outer figure is technical/logical and says "I am a developer". His deeper figure is creative and says "I am a designer". His core figure is empathic and says "I am your caring friend". Luckily I've encountered all of those inspiring figures, and if you'll work with him long enough you will have the same lovely experience as I had.
