Experience:
2.5+ years
"August was a critical member of our Cloud Native team at Monsoon, and continually generated value at every stage of our design and development process - from ideation all the way to implementation. He effectively lead the frontend engineering aspect of the project and was directly responsible for our choice of frontend technologies as well as delivering many features. I was always very impressed with August’s ability to quickly prototype a design or approach, share it with the team to gather feedback, and then immediately execute with a rock solid implementation. August has a very methodical and meticulous approach to his craft, and at the same time is able to remain surprising adaptive, agile and efficient. Any organization would greatly benefit from August’s design and engineering acumen and I look forward to seeing what he will accomplish in the future!"
