Bio
Tanner Ostenson
Zane was amazing to work with! He's a great listener and has an open mind. I always felt heard working with him, and that my ideas mattered. He also gets it done. I'm impressed by all the resources he uses to make sure the decisions he's making are the right ones. He'd be a great mind to have in any scenario!
Ryan Robbins
Zane was the product owner for my team at Emmersion. Zane is pragmatic, nimble-minded, data-obsessed, and great to work with. Whether working with the team, stakeholders, or users Zane could always find that additional question to ask to push people to take a different perspective or dig deeper. This frequently led to unexpected avenues we could take to stay lean while building out our language testing software. Zane was truly on the team, spending lots of time with us while we were writing and testing new features. Having him ready to give his perspective on a choice we were making and to give feedback as the work progressed was invaluable. Zane is truly
