I supervised Dr. Nikolayev when he served as a teaching fellow at Harvard University, where he taught history, literature, and writing. He is a very gifted teacher and writer. He was always extraordinarily well prepared for class, had a clear and direct presentation style, and got along well with the students (they loved him, in fact). I should note that Dr. Nikolayev won several teaching awards while at Harvard. I would work again with Dr. Nikolayev without reservation or hesitation. He receives my highest recommendation.

I worked with Philip at Kanda Software, a software consulting company and knew him as a brilliant colleague. He has a knack for quickly getting to the gist of the most unfamiliar and difficult topics. He is both technical and literary. At the time we worked together his primary responsibility was producing and reviewing majority of the company’s customer-bound communication materials. He brilliantly wrote numerous documents, from in-depth marketing white-papers to technical specs to new product proposals. His style was fluent and persuasive, with a sharp quality seldom found in the dry world of business papers. The company got several significant contracts on the strength of proposals that Philip authored. His talent for language and brilliant analysis that he brings to the team would make him an invaluable resource for any employer or business partner.
