Colleagues describe him as "Scott is an incredible engineer, leader, and mentor - I have enjoyed every second of working with him! He never shies away from complex technical problems and has always led teams through building thoughtful solutions. Scott and I frequently pair programmed when we were working with a framework I was unfamiliar with, and I got to see how effective he is at teaching others technical skills and explaining concepts. He is dedicated to helping others grow and quick to celebrate their wins. Scott is an excellent example of how being a kind, patient, supportive engineer is just as important as being a smart one!" and "Scott is a very thoughtful and deliberate programmer. He only writes very clean code that is easy to read and follow. He writes extensive and meaningful tests, making sure to account for various scenarios. I had the good fortune to pair with Scott on multiple projects in both Ember and Elixir. He was a great teacher as I was learning Ember and was always able to give me a detailed answer and explain things clearly. Scott is always ready to help and has a really great personality. He's one of the best people with whom I've had the good fortune to work."
