"Tavon was a core part of the effort supporting the US House of Representatives’ web properties through 'ITCON Services'. I observed him execute complex frontend work—developing and testing webforms, updating menus, landing pages, and custom content blocks across a large fleet of sites, and ensuring those interfaces were user-friendly and performant. He also provided practical CMS training and technical support to content editors, which increased the team’s efficiency and consistency in content delivery. He brings strong attention to detail, a collaborative mindset, and the ability to deliver under pressure. His work improved usability and trust in the digital service operations we supported. I’d happily work with him again and recommend him for any frontend or web experience role focused on execution and impact."

"Tavon has what it takes to make a project succeed. I worked with him on a volunteer-project to improve a game for students to become better informed about current events and the election process. Tavon has the technical skills for the work, sure. More than that, he has the people-skills that make him more effective and easy to work with. He listens. He made sure to understand our requirements from the beginning so that he could meet them with a minimum of turnaround. He's engaged. At times when others were distracted, he focused on his mission and was always prepared for the next meeting or deliverable. He's professional. When he finds something contradictory or ambiguous, he communicates it clearly and suggests what needs to be done to clarify. I'd work with him again anytime."
