I appreciated how Lucas and I were always able to teach and learn from each other and our different areas of expertise (his deeper background in tech and my knowledge of our codebase). Even as a fully remote team member, Lucas' strong communication skills always ensured that the team and stakeholders had clear and up to date information. When I later transitioned off of the engineering team, I knew that things were in great hands with Lucas.”

In a project we worked together, I could notice the persuasive capacity of Lucas on showing the best solution to tackle the problem we were facing as well as most adequate technology to be used.”
