Bio
Kirsten Van Fossen, PhD
Taylor is a true team player and problem-solver. While we worked on very different sides of the business at Galley—I worked on the Customer Success side and he worked on the Engineering side—his strong work ethic, intellectual curiosity, and commitment to the team were fully apparent. Taylor was always willing to go the extra mile to help—I can remember several times that stayed late to help me problem-solve and resolve customer issues. This is the kind of work ethic I’ve continuously observed from him both up close and from afar. I also have to add that it’s been very fun to bond over our shared interests in zero-waste practices, hiking/camping, and fermentation!

Taylor is a passionate and thoughtful software engineer. At Galley, his knowledge, leadership, and wisdom helped guide us on our migration to microservices and kubernetes. Overall, it was a pleasure working with Taylor, and he is an outstanding engineer who would be a huge asset to any team.
