Justen, is a first-class developer with a first-class attitude. I can recommend him without reservation.

Words that comes to mind when I think of Justen: Genuine, natural, talented, can-do, focussed, fast-learner, teacher, humble, patience, quiet, humorous, reliable, punctual, well-spoken, empathetic, caring, team-player, leader.
He does not fit any text-book 'personality type'. He is well-rounded, grounded and determined and turns his hand to anything in his pursuit of understanding and overcoming a challenge. He is joy to work with and an asset to any team; I would be delighted to work/learn with him again!
