I worked with Curt at Verisign within the Mobile Services Content division. Curt is diligent, hard working and well organized. Curt is very detail orientated and was instrumental in training myself and new team members. Curt was held in high regard and was a great resource for peers and Management alike. Curt is a great QA lead and with excellent communication skill was able to demonstrate this when representing the group or training others. He is a great asset to any company and takes initiative to implement and improve processes.
