"description": "I first started working with Samuel when we contracted with him to help us do some React.JS work at Control4. It was immediately obvious that Samuel was an incredible engineer. However, the value to our team really became apparent when we were able to hire him on fulltime and put him in a leadership position with our frontend engineers. Samuel immediately drove improvements within our technology stack by upgrading our React instance, helping drive adoption of our design language and component library, and implementing tools such as Sentry.io to optimize and improve code performance. As one of the lead engineers, Samuel not only helped drive proper tool adoption and usage, but also helped architect a multi-tiered approach that enabled us to decouple the frontend DOM (presentation) layer from the business logic layer from the data tier. I soon leaned in more on more on Samuel's skills and expertise to help us build a great team.\n\nI would jump at the chance to work with Samuel again not only because of the value he added to the product, the team, and to the company, but because he is a really great guy and I count him as one of my close friends.",
