System Engineer
Texas Instruments
Francois Charlot - Technical staff, Industrial Applications at Texas Instruments
Adrian is a very skilled system engineer to whom we gave some of the most complex tasks in the OMAP5 silicon validation team. Whenever it was involving hardware, software, a protocol stack, a demonstration, everything together, we would put Adrian at work on it. He would ramp up quickly on the topic and would deliver seamlessly a job well done.

Gerald Seiler
Quality Manager chez SAP & Nice-Job.fr CEO

I've been working with Adrian over complex topics such as USB3 drivers. I was impressed by his ability to develop quickly SW suite only by looking at the standard. 
He was also here to support me and the team regarding USB SW architecture, always trying to find solution and new ideas for debug. I would be pleased to work with him again.

Vincent Gillet
Manager SoC Design Verification and Silicon Validation
Since the first day I’m working with Adrian, I am impressed by his extended technical skills. 
He can perform from HW, with high knowledge in complex protocol/IPs/System, to SW, with OS/Linux skills for example. 
He is able to mix all these skills and innovate like the work he did using Linux to wake-up and validate OMAP5 SATA, gaining months of effort versus baremetal tests. 
His depth technical expertise, his very fast learning capabilities, his motivation, his dedication to the tasks he is working on, make him a top engineer, able to answer to any needs and delivering in time and with very high quality.less

Adrian Dumitrascu
System Integration & Verification & Validation; Mixed Signal IC flow development at Gridbee Communications
Awesome job. This is how i would qualify the entire work Adrian Popa done for the teams I've managed in the past. I did not even hire Adrian Popa for a specific job but for the toughest challenges. I was not wrong.... 
Basically whenever I had something extremelly challenging to address (conception / execution / timeframe / support) Adrian was the key guy. His ramp up speed is outstanding on new challenges.On things that he already had experience, some of the toughest jobs look like kids puzzles. 
In fewer words if one employer is looking for : 
- extremelly strong technical background 
- speed & quality of the execution 
- out of the box thinking & problem solving 
- small management effort 
then Adrian is the right guy ... There's simply nothing this guy can't tackle. 
Regards, 
Adrian D.
