Working with Adam has been nothing short of transformative. His mastery across web strategy, SEO, front-end and back-end development, and design is matched only by his ability to lead cross-functional teams with clarity and purpose.
Daniel Michael Santos Past manager · 3 years working together
An engaged, high-value contributor — honest, dependable, creative, and incredibly hard-working. An impressive "Solution Engine" who is always going above and beyond to reach for innovative answers to a wide variety of challenges.
Jeff Cowan Past manager · 3 years working together
Adam is not your typical developer. He understands marketing well and cares about the impact of the work his team owns. A great partner to sort through challenges who I could depend on to consistently provide well-articulated solutions I could bring to our exec team.
Kyle Gaudreau VP, Customer Growth · GrowthX.ai
Working with Adam as a graphic design consultant for Three Sided Design, I witnessed his ability to win clients over with charm and professionalism — and back it up with stellar work. A charismatic leader, and a swiss army knife of solutions to all things tech.
Nick Ogg Visual Artist · Video Editor
I'll always be grateful to Adam at Illumio — he saw potential in me before I did, pushed me to own big projects. He was always our department champion.
