Andrew Richards
I had the pleasure of working with Miles in a pair programming project Boardgame Connect. Together we built an app that connected users and allowed them to play boardgames with each other over Zoom. Miles played a key role in creating both the front-end and back-end. With his understanding of Rails he was able to build an easy to use and cleanly written in Ruby. I was impressed and delighted by his understanding of the front-end needs of the project while building his back-end. His routes were well planned out, making the front-end implementation quick and easy. His communication during the project was excellent. He verbalized the challenges he was facing and helped me through the challenges I was facing. This clear and constant communication kept our project focused. We completed ahead of schedule. Overall, Miles’ positive demeanor and excellent coding skills led to the creation of a fully featured and stable project. I would work with Miles’ on a project again, as it was a smooth and positive experience. -Andrew Richards Full Stack Software Engineer
