Recommendations
“I have recently worked with Nick on a very complex data project. The project delivered on its complex objectives and Nick’s skills in a variety of areas was critical to that success. His ability to analyse complex and frequently changing requirements and transform those into workable, functional solutions was very evident at every stage of the project. In addition, Nick managed a team of resources with variant skill-sets very successfully…to deliver the functional vision for the project. I hope I have the opportunity to work with Nick again soon.”
Nick always led by example, and I was lucky enough to work under him for almost two years. I was always impressed by his ability to push us to reach our full potential.
While working with him, I completed some of my best work and was able to gain valuable professional experience. His dedication to his craft is nothing short of inspiring, and his ability to teach others is something that I’ll miss. I’m grateful to have worked with Nick and highly recommend him to any company. He is a great asset to any project.
Nick played an important role in building our new leading edge system which automates the process of underwriting electronic medical records. His enthusiasm, wide knowledge, experience, dedication and intelligence were a great asset to the team. He brought many new ideas to the table which helped shape the final product.
