Antoine Campbell
I had the pleasure of working with Chandler during his time as our head of engineering, and he consistently impressed me with his focus and dedication to improving our team's performance. Chandler demonstrated a strong ability to manage projects and people effectively, always making sure that our team was on track to meet our goals. He was instrumental in reducing our delivery time, which had a significant impact on our team's success. Beyond his managerial skills, Chandler was also an inquisitive and proactive leader who was always looking for ways to improve our processes and cut costs. He frequently asked relevant questions and explored new ideas to make our team more efficient. Overall, Chandler is an exceptional manager who possesses a unique blend of technical knowledge, leadership skills, and an unwavering commitment to achieving results. I have no doubt that he would be a valuable asset to any organization fortunate enough to have him on their team.

I worked with Chandler while he was an Engineering Manager at Mission Lane. He consistently thought of the big picture and pushed the engineering team to relate their work back to business objectives and customer value. He also championed automation efforts and advocated for the team to prioritize technical debt and push the limits of innovation. His value and customer centric mentality not only created a purposeful and motivated working environment, but also led to one of the most profitable areas of the business. It's been a pleasure working with Chandler, and any team would be lucky to have him.
