Bio
Michael Zhu
Reed is without a doubt one of the best managers/supervisors that I’ve had the pleasure of working with and being managed by. He is one of the most knowledgeable and talented developers I’ve ever been around and he has a deep tool belt of both frontend and backend technologies that he’s well-versed in. Reed has the ability to pick up and learn new technologies and become proficient with them in a short amount of time and I witnessed that firsthand while working with him at Roadpass Digital. Not only are Reed’s technical skills top-notch, but so are his interpersonal skills. Reed is extremely easygoing and friendly, which makes working with and being mentored by him an absolute joy. As a manager and mentor, Reed was always supportive, encouraging, and always willing and patient to explain intricate processes to me. Reed would be able to fit into any team and immediately make positive impacts. Working with Reed made my tenure at Roadpass Digital much more enjoyable and I hope to be able to work with him again in the future.

My relationship with Reed started by outcome of organizational change. As a newcomer to a mature project, Reed worked within entirely new conditions without introduction, remained impartial to technicalities, and delivered on time. Aside from crushing it as an individual contributor, his sentiment for the team was always in their best interest, helping them along the way too. Additionally, his knowledge within Google Analytics 360 Suite (Tag Manager, Analytics, Optimize), and integrating with ad networks, were unmatched at the company. I’d recommend Reed as a good fit for a high velocity, agile, team.

I started off as a Senior Software Engineer on the Roadpass team working on the front end of a company-owned OAUTH system for our other brand applications.
