I worked with Ethan on putting together an Incident Management Response Card for Business Recovery in Dreyfus. Ethan was very professional and always did an outstanding job with the software used to create the card. I would highly recommend him.

I worked with Ethan in a study group working through Haverbeke's Eloquent Javascript, where he demonstrated his ability to solve problems and a desire to learn. His determination and dedication grant him a unique advantage in the ever-changing field of web technology.
