    I’ve worked closely with Isaac as he was an engineering lead for a product we’re part of, and I must say that Isaac is a very experienced software engineer who has a keen eye for detail and sets very high engineering standards.

    Isaac would also often go above and beyond when it comes to engineering spikes to help bring some clarity for the product team, especially when it involves newer blockchain tech.

    Would love to work with Isaac again!
