What people say

“Very knowledgeable, highly competent and always curious and eager to learn more, that’s is how I perceive Ethan. We worked together in the marketing team for about 3 years. I really appreciated Ethan’s ability to combine his in-depth analytical skills and technical expertise with a very pragmatic and hands-on approach when developing new efficient solutions. Ethan has got integrity, courage and a strong drive to deliver high-quality results. He is self-sufficient and very creative, always looking to improve processes and results. In addition, Ethan can explain all things tech so even I understand it. On a more personal level, I really enjoyed our deep, deep philosophical conversations about life; To be or not to be…
I can highly recommend Ethan to future business partners and companies.”

Kristin Andersson
Head of Communications, Sweden at Volvo Car Mobility

“I had the pleasure of working with Ethan for about 1.5 years while at Trustly. Ethan was the development lead on several pieces of work that were critical to the Partner Channel, and I was always pleased and impressed with both Ethan's attitude and the results he delivered!
Ethan is very quick to understand business needs, he is hard working and focused on business results, and he technically is very skilled. I was always confident when Ethan was assigned to a project, and he consistently delivered.
I can with confidence recommend him to future business partners and employers alike.”

Adam Bowman
Director, Partner Sales at Trustly Group AB

“Ridiculously efficient’ and tremendously talented are the phrases that come to mind when I think about Ethan. I had the pleasure of working with Ethan for several years at Coalition Technologies, collaborating on several project teams. Ethan’s ability to juggle multiple projects was unlike any I’ve seen before. The work was not only timely but flawless as well. I have never seen a developer as responsive and efficient like Ethan. It always appeared that no task was too big or impossible. On top of everything Ethan always brought an amazing attitude to work everyday and was an absolute pleasure to work with. I would jump at the opportunity to work with Ethan in the future and any company would be lucky to have him.”
