I challenged my coworker who averages around a minute to try this. With my help notating everything and a wee bit of help with the solve here and there here's what we came up with.

72 STM, honestly not too bad for 4LLL. I thought his solutions for the first two pairs were pretty cool.

Found a very interesting solution to the scramble, had a 6 move X Cross but it turned into a 12 move F2L+PLS Setup. The rest of the solve wasn't all that great though, so 39 moves using CFOP+Ribbon Beta

FMC gets to L4C in 15 moves, I'm bad at L4C but I'm certain it can be solved in under 30 moves from here. Let me know your solution from here!
