It's clear from my working with Daniel how talented, driven, and energetic he is. Without his efforts, our company's current business objectives could not have been realized. His ability to multi-task effectively, and respond to issues quickly and efficiently have a lot to do with the overall success of the technology solutions my project team had to implement. He is a pleasure to work with; a true team player.
