Bio
David Leiyian Motongo
I cant say enough about Cooper. I had the pleasure to work with him while he was in college during his summer internship. He was such an incredible assets to our team, and delivered some much needed process efficiencies that are still being used on that team years later. His ability to understand what a problem is then deliver is remarkable. I am excited to see where his career will take him.

Cooper is a real problem-solver with advanced analytical skills and engaging personality. I recently had the pleasure of working with him on a time-sensitive project. It was refreshing to experience a professional with drive and the initiative to get things done. The outcome of his work will save my team about 10-15 hours a month. The quality of work provided by Cooper exceeded my expectations!
