Bio
Reed Hallstrom
I've had the privilege of working with Farzin closely over the past two years on a broad variety of major product development efforts, from complex data migrations to product integrations to native app development, Farzin has always proven himself to be an expert in seemingly every stack and topic. He has the kind of judgement and capacity for understanding the big picture that allows him to make great design decisions intuitively, and has great skill in managing himself and a team to deadline. Perhaps most importantly, he is an excellent manager who cares about the people reporting to him, and is a genuinely good person.

Beyond that, he has an impressive leadership style who is able to gain the trust and dedication of software engineers who work for him. His knowledge of software engineering management and expertise in technology was a huge advantage to our entire virtual team.

Along with his undeniable talent, Farzin has always been an absolute joy to work with. He is a true team player, and always fosters positive discussions and brings the best out of employees. Without a doubt, I confidently recommend Farzin. As a dedicated and knowledgeable manager and an all-around great person, I know that he will be impactful wherever he works.
