Bio
Chris Etchechury
I worked with Sean on a two-week design sprint while at Launch Academy. Within the project team, and the larger cohort, Sean distinguished himself as a competent programmer, who was interested in taking the prescribed coursework to elevated heights. Sean is a great teacher, as I leaned on his programming knowledge to help me think through some roadblocks I encountered. I highly recommend Sean, and believe he will hit the ground running on whatever team is smart enough to take him.

Sean is a self-starter who takes initiative on whatever tasks he takes on or is assigned. I worked side by side with Sean at Novotorium in outreach as well as brainstorming better work methods. Sean thought critically about the suggestions that I or other team members raised to help us create the best way forward. He can fill a multitude of rolls and would be a great asset to any team.
