Logan Goodin
Grant is a fantastic developer to work with. His work is always top notch, but it goes so much further than that. Grant is a collaborator who develops a deep understanding of the product vision. A true partner in product development, Grant is adept at talking through the business requirements and various technical limitations to land on an approach that requires the lowest level of effort to meet and enhance the minimum product requirements. He is able to translate vague requirements into new features that meet the business owners' vision and needs, and quickly pivot when any changes are introduced.
