Michael joined Fruity-AI as one of the very first hires alongside the two founders, which is not always an easy position to step into. But Michael has handled it in a very natural way from the beginning. He has always pushed things forward in a sincere and honest fashion, with strong care for both the people he works with and the product he is building. He is not afraid to speak up or challenge opinions, but it always comes from a good place and with a lot of respect for his peers. Michael has played a key role in shaping how we build AI products. He has almost managed to scale himself through AI and helped us do more than we otherwise could as a small team. On top of that, Michael has been a big part of creating the culture at Fruity-AI. He is social, energetic and always good at bringing people together, whether it's around a product discussion, a Slack thread or a Friday beer.

I've had the distinct pleasure of working alongside Michael for several years, and in that time, I've come to recognize him as one of the most dedicated and talented UX designers I've ever encountered. Michael's designs are not just visually appealing; they are user-centric, intuitive, and always aligned with the latest trends and best practices in the design world. His commitment to staying updated with design news, new products, apps, and services ensures that his work is always at the forefront of innovation. Beyond his technical prowess, what truly sets Michael apart is his character. His easygoing nature makes him a joy to collaborate with, fostering a positive and productive work environment. His passion for design extends beyond the workplace, as evidenced by his commendable volunteer work, where he leverages his skills to contribute to causes that make the world a better place. In a world where design can make or break user experiences, having Michael on your team guarantees that users will not only be satisfied but delighted :-)

I've had the privilege of working with Michael on a number of projects at Mobilethink. He shows extensive care for the user experience and has an eye for simplistic design that communicates well to all. In addition to being an absolute pleasure to work with, Michael has a great sense of humor and makes any place joyous.

Michael Lajlev has been working as a digital product manager at Center for Digital Youth Care for one year from May 2013 to June 2014. I have been very pleased with Lajlevs commitment and determination to make a difference for children and young people digitally. He has made a great effort to upgrade our counselling platforms Cyberhus.dk and Netstof.dk with new user-friendly features and interactions. He has also been responsible for our digital team, where he has solved digital productions for our customers with great satisfaction and a great outcome. Lajlev has been excellent at cutting to the core of digital projects, focusing on customer satisfaction and profits. Lajlev is a very flexible, co-operative and professionally skilled employee — and it has been of great value for all of us "soft humanists" at CfDP to have an IT tech geek like Lajlev on the team. He has been a good and focused leader for his team — and a great colleague to the rest of the organization's employees. A person we could always count on and who has supported the organization's values. We will miss "Lillefar" on the team and his warm mood and positive energy — but we send him off with the best recommendations, knowing that he will continue to keep an eye on our digital work in the future.

Michael Lajlev was our team leader, while I was an intern at Center for Digital Pædagogik. He was always thorough in every little detail concerning our projects. He gave us constructive criticism instead of being negative. He let us do our work in peace and was always there to answer our questions. Generally a very fun person to be around. He could always make us laugh. I would definitely recommend him to any company that needs a Product Director.

I got to knew Michael as he started in the early days of Trustpilot, when we were all young and inexperienced. Michael took part of the journey from a small company to a much more established size. We all learned tremendously from that journey, and earned real battle experience. As the company HQ moved to Copenhagen, and Michael decided to work from the Copenhagen office, despite his family living in Aarhus. We really appreciated that commitment. Michael is just a pleasure to work with and is excellent when you ping-pong on new ideas. You always walk away smarter. His constant creativity did not only move our product, but did also affect his co-workers on a daily basis. I never met anyone with such an amazing curiosity towards new developments within technology. Personally — Michael is a kind, generous guy with a very funny sense of humour. In short, I recommend Michael highly.

Michael is calm, funny and kind. People like him is hard to find. So look out, Michael sure is a rising star and we all love him as his alter ego "Lille Far".

It have been a big pleasure to work with Michael from day one in Trustpilot, he is a very skilled and enthusiastic person. Michael always finds great suggestions, solutions and improvements to design elements and features, his mind works best with ways to solve problems and challenges in the best possible way, typically also the easiest way. It is not because he is lazy, my believe is that the simplest solution often is the best one and I think Michael has sort of the same believe.

Michael is a humorous, handsome down to earth guy with an uncanny ability to figure out any aspect of web-programming you might throw at him!

Michael has been associated with Cyberhus as a volunteer and on ad hoc paid web projects since 2008 — and is still involved in both capacities. At Cyberhus, Michael works on a wide range of web-related tasks. He is the guide for our virtual IT workshop, where his job is to update and develop the space's web pages for children and young people. In addition, he has been (and still is) involved in several ad hoc web projects and processes at Cyberhus. Michael approaches a task with great seriousness, creativity, and a focus on the target group's needs — along with a good dose of humour. We greatly value Michael's personality and his contribution to Cyberhus.
