Recommendations
From working with Justin at prophet.net, I gained an appreciation for software developers who are fast, efficient and make few mistakes. As the manager of the QA team and primary business analyst on the project, I could rely on Justin to finish projects on time with few if any errors, which allowed my team to complete their work on time. In short, Justin makes everyone around him look good as well as making their jobs easier, whether they hired him or work with him laterally across an organization.Anonymous
Justin is one of the best developers I have had the pleasure to work with. His in-depth knowledge of web technologies and programming as well as network architecture is outstanding. Justin is always highly motivated to produce quality results and he continuously delivers results that exceed expectations. Within just a few months at Riverbed, Justin quickly became the go-to person to design the best solutions and find answers to complex problems. Additionally, Justin’s ability to interact with all levels in the company ensures the success of his projects.Anonymous
Since I was limited to three choices, I feel that without mentioning his other attributes, I was not accurately reflecting my reasons for recommending him: he is personable, creative, and exceptional in every way; in short – would always be my first choice for any IT project.Anonymous
Working with Justin was awesome as he streamlined many processes for me creating custom applications that allowed me to do my job with increased efficiency. Worked with him closely in redesigning the company website as well as boutique sites. There is nothing this guy can’t do.Anonymous
Justin is hands-down one of the best and brightest software developers I have ever met. If he says he can get something done, it’ll get done. He’s also extremely creative and ideas spin out of him at a million miles a minute. My only regret with Justin is that we’ve never gotten to work on one of our ideas together. Maybe someday. If you’re thinking about hiring him but are not sure, all I can say if that you’d be making a huge mistake if you didn’t. Oh, and he’s also a rockin’ cool awesome dude.Anonymous
Justin is an outstanding IT resource. He has extensive web application knowledge combined with the rare gift of being able to temper that knowledge relative to the task and team at hand; always favoring clean, professional and eloquent designs that best serve the business (and not the technology). Having worked in the IT industry for over 16 years I can’t recommend his skills and integrity highly enough.Anonymous
As a manager Justin can relate to anyone in the organization from power hungry V.P.s to rookie developers. He has the ability to liaise between different entities and leave everyone feeling confident and motivated. He can dig out those hard to gather requirements from project stake holders and pass them along clearly to devs.
As a developer Justin has an almost spooky ability to rapidly trouble shoot problems that arise no matter where the cause is, be it data, infrastructure, or architecture.
Justin has been a highly valued asset on any project he and I have worked on together.Anonymous
I had the opportunity to work with Justin when he was a Programmer Analyst III at Williams-Sonoma. When I sent issues to him, he was able to resolve them quickly and with little information even if he had not worked on the area or application before. He also continuously looked into new ways to make processes more efficient. He is extremely bright and tackles projects and issues with a “can do” attitude.Anonymous
Justin functioned as my Tech Lead on all of my projects at WSI. He is incredibly thorough and extremely well organized. Justin followed up on everything without my prodding. He has an inherent curiosity, which serves him extremely well in overcoming technical challenges. I was always able to send Justin into waters that he had not charted before, and have him not only accept the challenge, but return with a practical understanding. His mind and efforts contributed more to the technical success of my many projects, than any other single technician. Justin is always a welcomed addition to my organization.Anonymous
