"I have worked with Newton at three different companies. He's been an important member of our software engineering team. While he started just helping us with a complex Ruby on Rails application, Newton has branched out to help with many other projects, like solving problems with a complicated AWS-based backup system and using R to process analytics data. He has done many deep dives into our systems and emerged with bug fixes, documentation improvements, and custom utilities to help others better manage those systems. He got along great with our team; he's friendly, eager to learn, and willing to help anyone. It has been great being on a team with Newton. He has a lot to offer and I'm sure he'd fit in well anywhere."

"Newton is a highly experienced developer, capable of jumping into any project and quickly gaining the understanding needed to start contributing. I've worked with him at multiple companies and was impressed with his ability to jump into unknown codebases and get himself up to speed. When giving or receiving feedback on code, he is respectful and always strives to fully understand the problem at hand. It has been a privilege working with Newton, and his friendly attitude and thoughtful approach to software would make him a valuable addition to any team."

"Newton is a great developer to work with! He is friendly, curious, and very skilled in development. Newton was able to hammer out the details of a rapidly changing/growing specification, and deliver good code in spite of it. He is exceptionally detailed oriented and was a core member of the team, and is capable of anything he sets his mind to. He deserves to work with a great team on a great app."

"Newton had to hit the ground running as a relatively recent recruit to the company being asked to jump in and be the resident expert and sole seconded developer for a brand-new product being developed under time pressure. He learned quickly, developed well, and was always keen to help out to deliver the best product we could. An asset to the team!"

"Newton is great to work with. He's funny, enjoyable to be around, fit really well into the company's culture. Newton came from a Ruby on Rails background into our company that had a purely Python based stack. He transitioned his skills form Ruby over to Python pretty quickly. He understands the OO structure of Python well and is always seeking to learn more about it. Newton loves working with the frontend. Ajax, JS, CSS3, HTML5 in a MVC framework defines his experience. At our company he 'wore many hats' and implemented alot of great additions to our stack. Newton has a great entrepreneurial drive and is always looking to make money off his next idea. I can't wait to see what he develops next."
