Feedback from Partners and Clients
Ryan Cowan
Engineering Manager at Swoogo
Isaac is one of those rare engineers that is smart, dedicated, thoughtful, and compassionate. He quickly became a knowledge expert on the team and was quick to share with, and train up, others. Isaac is capable of tackling tough engineering problems with no prior experience and driving to solutions. He was critical to a number of upgrades we were performing, working nights and weekends, ensuring that everything went smoothly.
Austin Smith
Senior Product Designer at ActiveCampaign
Isaac has always impressed me with his attention to detail and care for a project. As a designer, I can say that not every engineer has the care for the customer experience that Isaac has. He asks provoking questions and identifies possible pain points for the user early on in a project’s life.
Jeffrey Sherman
Staff Engineer at ActiveCampaign
Isaac impressed me with his ability to break down large problems into small tasks with high client value. He is able to keep the core business problem separate from the software implementation and focus on incremental delivery. This enabled Isaac to deliver high impact features in short timeframes.
Jean Weatherwax
Engineering Lead at First Round Capital
Isaac has been wonderful to work with – he has a very logical approach to planning and executing projects and also is very thoughtful about writing clean and testable code. He was an advocate for processes and paradigms that made our engineering team happier and more efficient overall, which in my opinion is one of the best things you can do for an organization.
