Sean was an incredible value add not just to the Engineering team, but to BitGo as a whole. He was a motivated partner who helped me shape the product vision, communicate requirements, and execute on the roadmap. He is able to organize complex projects and workflows and is looked up to by every member of the team.
As a corporate recruiter at Guidebook, I get the opportunity to work with Sean on hiring for our web team. One of the things that impresses me the most about him is his ability to dive into details—not just to dig into a candidate's code challenge or technical interview—but to identify, and screen for some of the soft qualities and values that our engineering organization holds most dear: communication, ownership, knowledge and professional growth. He truly gets to know candidates in a deep and meaningful way throughout the entire interview process.
I worked alongside Sean for 3 years when Guidebook grew substantially. The executive team identified Sean as one of the most talented developers on the engineering team, but what made him stand out was his leadership ability. Before his position as Director of Engineering, he would take the initiative to organize projects and communicate effectively with external teams.
Sean is a well groomed technical lead and a charismatic person. Sean has lead and facilitated several productive initiatives across whole Engineering team, that has helped transform productivity and overall cross team understanding in terms of process and communication.
