I have had the opportunity to work with Victor at three different companies, AutoTrader, WebMD and most recently Videa.

Victor is a passionate user interface engineer / architect who is skilled at determining good UI development approaches, best practices and then implementing them. For example, at Videa he successfully defined our interface standards, implemented an online code base style guide, constructed our interfaces, and worked well with the UX team to create great user interactions. Plus, without being asked he created a complete standalone demo application to ensure the company would have something functional to show at two NAB conferences. This proactive approach was outstanding and helped the company close a few deals.

Besides being talented UI professional, Victor is also a great person to work with. Victor is very personable, funny, and has a positive team based approach to working.

I look forward to hiring and working with him again.

Victor was great to work with at AT&T. I find myself learning something new every very time I speak to Victor. Whether it's a front-end development solution or a new design approach Victor always showed me that there is something amazing to learn all the time. I found Victor's attitude refreshing and inspiring, while motivating me and others to be the same. I feel he is an exceptionally skilled developer / designer as well as a leader and would really like to work with him again some day. I feel that his passion for learning and applying that knowledge to the front-end side of development / design is inspirational and think you'll be very fortunate to have him on your team. I hope I get to work with Victor again some day soon.

Victor has always demonstrated a great attitude toward new work, and helped us always plow through the ebbs and flows of operational projects that hit our team, often holding the lion's share of asignments. He's passionate about learning new technology especially regarding front-end web trends, and was one of our departments first promoters of GitHub and SASS. It was always a pleasure working with Victor, and I believe he's a strong asset as a front end developer for any web team.
