Testimonials

Adam Shaffer is a skilled and effective full-stack Java developer, software test engineer, and technical consultant. We worked together in a software development team to support data integration services for a large financial services company. In addition to software development tasks, Adam also trained the team in software development best practices, processes improvement, automation of manual tasks, TDD (test driven development), BDD (behavior driven development), and Quality Strategy. I am greatly impressed with his knowledge, quick turnaround on deliverables, team spirit, cheerful attitude, communication skills, and dedicated work habits. He has proven himself as a valuable development team member. I would recommend him as a software developer, QA test engineer, or process coach on any complex and challenging project, and I would gladly work with Adam again.

I worked with Adam on multiple Agile/Scrum projects and went through training with him during our time at FDM Group. Adam was always the first to volunteer to tackle a difficult problem, no matter if it was on the front end, the back end, or during testing. He was also helpful and cooperative, offering assistance whenever unexpected bugs or issues would pop up during the software development lifecycle. Given his wealth of software development knowledge and willingness to do the hard work necessary to create good applications, I think he could join any software development team and contribute right away. It was a great experience working with him.

Adam and I were in the same cohort in The Flatiron School's immersive software engineering program. Adam was one of the hardest workers in the program, and I was impressed with how he went above and beyond the requirements on every project. He always produces thorough and well thought-out work, and pays attention to the details. He would be an asset to any development team!
