Miiko was studious and trustworthy with his tasks. If something was unclear, he was not afraid to ask questions. Things he learned, he passed right on to members of his team. He was a good fit for the team, open-minded and sociable. In unexpected circumstances, he showed a proactive, creative attitude in a calm manner.
