Bio
Kim Towne
Tara is all around amazing – as a developer and as a human being! She does her job, she does it well and she is never one to back down from a challenge. She single-handedly took on numerous projects at once when we were short-staffed and rose to the occasion. I honestly wish everyone I worked with had her work ethic. Tara also has the rare ability to get to the root of any issue and never brought a problem to the table without a viable solution. On top of all those qualities, she was always the first to offer up help to coworkers – even pesky Analytics people who always had JavaScript questions – Tara was always there to help. She is a valuable member of any team and brings leadership, a go-getter attitude and serious skills.

Tara is a rockstar developer! In my time working with her at Minds On, she was a constant source of knowledge. Any time I had a question regarding how something I was designing would be built or what our possibilities were she was available and willing to chat. She has a gift for explaining complex code solutions in simple ways that coworkers and clients have no trouble understanding. I can wholeheartedly recommend her for anyone looking for a detail-oriented developer that will produce a top-notch product.
