About

“Taylor is a phenomenal engineer. During his time at Pine Studio, he took rough concepts and turned them into full products. He owned the project scope, technical architecture, and development through to launch. He was a pleasure to work with, always reliable, sharp, and dedicated to building great product. I highly recommend him.”

“Taylor served as our fractional CTO during a period when our operations spanned five businesses across ten disparate systems. He successfully consolidated our infrastructure into a single unified platform, database, and authentication system.

His execution speed and adaptability were exceptional, successfully completing multiple initiatives within a six-week timeframe. This included delivering a booking engine ahead of a critical event deadline and deploying a CRM system in four days to accommodate an expanded project scope.

Beyond technical execution, Taylor provided vital strategic clarity to our internal team. At a stage when our vision was not yet fully articulated, he effectively aligned and structured our technical strategy. Furthermore, he articulated complex technical trade-offs in accessible terms, ensuring our executive decision-making was fully informed.

Most importantly, Taylor established robust technical conventions, documentation, and standard operating procedures. These foundational assets, along with the industry standards and development methodologies he imparted, have enabled us to continuously maintain and expand the platform independently without dedicated engineering staff.

I highly recommend Taylor to any organization seeking a true strategic technical partner.”

“Adaptable and a quick study. Taylor came into our fast-paced and constantly changing environment and hit the ground running. He was responsible for all technical design and execution aspects of a software development project that I managed and completed it with aplomb. This project was wide, varied and changing and required a broad base of developer skills. Technical ability aside, his success and positive impact was due in large part to his adaptability, team mentality and ability (and desire) to learn quickly.

He's an “ok” table tennis player too.

Happy to provide a reference anytime.”

“Taylor is a detail-oriented and proficient engineer, with great potential for project management. I worked with Taylor for two terms as a part of BCIT's ISSP program. Taylor's ability to wear different hats (client, project manager and senior engineer) while excelling at each of them was remarkable.

As a client: he provided a very in-depth explanation of the product's story and value proposition. His thorough research and vast market knowledge helped the team quickly understanding the product's impact.

As a project manager: he ensured that the requirements were well-communicated before starting the development work. His ability to break down a complex task into small, well-elaborated action items is impeccable and a joy to work with.

As a senior engineer: Taylor's well-informed opinions reduced confusion, helped accelerate the development process while ensuring the highest standards for the codebase. His code review suggestions helped in significantly improving my frontend skills, especially React, Redux and JavaScript.

I believe Taylor will be a great addition to any team looking for a Senior Frontend Engineer, with an additional focus on project management.”
