I had the great pleasure of working closely with Coleton, and I can confidently say he's an outstanding professional and a pleasure to work alongside. Coleton consistently demonstrated his technical expertise and proposed plans for improving code architecture.

One of Coleton’s key strengths is his communication—he’s able to explain complex concepts clearly and ensures that everyone on the team is aligned. He’s also a quick learner, staying on top of the latest trends and technologies, and finding creative ways to incorporate them into his work.

Beyond his technical skills, Coleton is a team player who is always willing to step up and help others. His positive attitude and calm demeanor in challenging situations make him a leader by example.

I highly recommend Coleton for any role or project. He brings both technical skill and a great team-oriented mindset to everything he does.

Coleton is an exceptional problem solver and engineering partner. We worked together on a project when he was new to Glo and he immediately dug in to identify the best strategy for implementation and uncovered several additional opportunities to optimize our performance beyond the initial scope. He's a creative, scrappy engineer and brings a lot to the table.

I am pleased to recommend Coleton Gorecke as an excellent and professionally consistent iOS Engineer for any engineering team looking to grow. Throughout our time working together Coleton consistently demonstrated strong technical prowess, solid judgment, an ability to deliver with exceptional velocity, and a consideration for both long and short term decision making architecturally. To date Coleton has been one of my strongest engineers in terms of effectiveness immediately after onboarding.

Within the first month Coleton was able to not only support our flagship product launches, and build towards immense pressured deadlines, but additionally take lead on iOS to get us through the finish line to launch ahead of schedule. As Coleton quickly adapts to complex projects, he takes ownership, and efficiently delivers high-quality solutions, all the while ensuring stakeholders across product, engineering, marketing, and leadership are informed on the progress and blockers at a consistent basis.

Beyond his delivery and collaboration skills Coleton is very thorough at tracking his work, providing multiple solutions when blocked, understanding the product from a customer lens, and connecting with engineers and leaders alike to foster buy-in to decisions made.I strongly recommend Coleton for any iOS engineering role.

I believe any company will massively benefit from his presence, and I would go as far to say he is a role model for other engineers to emulate within a given team.

Coleton is very self driven and his tenacity with programming is beyond impressive. I’ve watched him go from a self taught programmer to a full-fledge professional iOS developer in a short amount of time.

I had the pleasure of working with Coleton for a little over two years, starting in our apprenticeship. He was a great coworker, always looking for what needs to be done, figuring out ways to be more efficient.

I have enjoyed working with Coleton over the last two and a half years. I found him to be hard-working, bright, and a skilled communicator. Not only was Coleton successful in his iOS engineering role at First Orion but he was also able to publish his own application to the app store.

Coleton is one of the most self driven individuals I’ve seen. We brought Coleton on as a Mobile Engineer through our Apprentice program and watched as he quickly excelled over the last couple years.

I have had the honor of working with Coleton for two and a half years. He is a self-starting, driven individual with an inquisitive mind. His communication skills are top-notch; he asks both important and hard questions to ensure that everyone is on board with an efficient solution.

I had the pleasure to meet Coleton before we started working at First Orion together. Coleton had reached out to me on LinkedIn a year before he got hired at First Orion. He’s a fast learner, committed, and talented software engineer and I strongly believe that he’ll excel in any role.

I had the pleasure of working with/leading Coleton for an action-packed 2.5 years at First Orion. Coleton came into our iOS developer apprenticeship program swinging. His passion for learning and improving was apparent on day one. Over the course of the next year and a half, Coleton matured into a well rounded, highly skilled iOS developer. For those who are looking to hire an iOS developer - if Coleton is in the market, don’t skip on this opportunity.

As a former team lead in Engineering, when hiring for a role, I always looked for the perfect balance between technical skills and personality traits. I would characterize Coleton as the perfect candidate to meet the requirements of a skilled engineer and one of the best work ethics I have seen in an employee.

I highly recommend Coleton for any ISO engineering role. He has demonstrated exceptional technical skills and rapid adaptability to new technologies. One of his significant accomplishments includes spearheading the implementation of a Firebase library that simplifies the interactions between Firebase’s core feature sets, such as RemoteConfig, CrashLytics, Analytics, and Logging. His ability to implement substantial technical enhancements and dedication to his craft make him an excellent fit.

I had the pleasure to work with Coleton at First Orion. He was able to succeed at any problem that was given to him. He shows excellent communication skills, and I am fairly certain that leadership will be in his future if he so chooses. Coleton has shown his passion not only by his effort on the job, but also, by his effort to hone his craft outside of work. I would recommend Coleton for any type of software engineering position.

I had the privilege of working with Coleton for a few months, and during that time, he stood out as an exceptional iOS developer. With a strong collaborative spirit, Coleton brings enthusiasm and passion to every project he undertakes. His technical background is solid and comprehensive, allowing him to tackle complex challenges effectively while fostering a positive and productive team environment. I highly recommend Coleton as a highly skilled iOS developer, and I hope to have the opportunity to work with him again in the future.
