"I worked with Jesse Crafts-Finch on some very critical features for our app. He was able achieve what seemed impossible under hot deadlines. His ownership and follow-through are bar none. He's a great engineer as well as an easy person to work with. His attitude was always positive even on those Saturday evening fire drills. I would work Jesse again in a second."
