Bio
Pascal Pascarella
I worked very closely with Richard and observed his rapid growth during our flex course program. Truly one of the more impressive capstone applications I have seen come through the camp -- Richard obviously put a great deal of effort and time into this project, as made evident by the amazing functionality he achieved!! The entire user-flow felt effortless! His ability to efficiently take in guidance, implement features, and extend utility makes him a prime candidate for any company looking for a developer already possessing real-world experience in front-end unit + end-to-end testing!

Richard is one of the most reliable people I have ever worked with. While in school together, I applauded his strong work-ethic, which led him to excel in multiple facets at once; not an easy feat with the heavy constraints on his time in the school of music. Playing in ensembles together, I observed him approach problems with great humility, accepting feedback and quickly making changes to better our musical production and process. I have always appreciated how he often clearly articulates his well-reasoned opinion, bettering my understanding and bringing an important perspective to the table. Anyone who gets to work with Richard will be lucky to have him on their team; he will perform consistent, quality work and bring an informed opinion to the table.
