We hired Taylor at Taxbit as an intern. Immediately he came with an attitude of wanting to make an impact. He's a driven engineer that has progressed rapidly in his career. Taylor delivered on many projects in a relatively short time at Taxbit. He has a strong work ethic, is collaborative, and is results-driven. Taylor was a "playmaker" for my team from day one. I could always count on him for high-priority tasks, no matter the difficulty. He also loves to have fun and knows how to make work enjoyable. I enjoyed having Taylor in the office and will miss his presence on the team. He has an "all-in" attitude and will boost any team he joins.
