Bio
Michael Trowbridge
Through our years of working together Pedro continuously showcased himself to be a skilled and experienced full stack developer. Pedro was able to work comfortably across a range of technical challenges, always first ensuring he understood the problem in detail, before using his broad range of experience to develop the right solution. Most recently, as Pedro took the lead on establishing our frontend development practices, he was able to showcase his skills and passion for this side of development. Using his background in video game development and his skills as a (very good!) artist, Pedro was able to deliver impressive results both visually and technically. An added bonus to this was his very user focused mindset. He continually worked with our UX designer to make suggestions and refine our solutions.
