“Zach was on my team and worked directly for me for the last 1.5 years. He continuously demonstrated prowess as an EE Technical Lead, Systems Engineering Lead and Engineering Manager. Zach has a great way of working with his own team as well as cross-functional teams – a style that draws away contention and conflict and instills camaraderie and rapport. He excels at easily comprehending the knottiest problems while explaining them in an easy-to-understand message - and then resolving them. Although not many years experience, his career is already chock-full of achievement in EE platform and product design, production methods and processes, and team coordination & management. Zach would be a huge asset to any engineering team - guaranteed. Zach is on a rocket ship to Mars and I envy those that get to ride along with him;-). ”
