Bio
Brian Wanger
Zach interned two different times, on two of my teams. Each time he quickly became an integral member of each Scrum team. We challenged him with learning new programming languages and concepts in support of our product. Zach dove in, was immediately effective, learned new concepts, and produced good work. He takes the bigger picture into account when coding and needs little direction nor oversight. He was an active participant in our Scrum ceremonies. Zach will be successful in anything he puts his mind to. I highly recommend Zach to any potential future employer.
