Bio
Keith Park
I have worked with Carl for a number of years so i have first hand experiance in giving him a positive recommendation. Carl is very focused and dedicated in the development area to which he is apart of. He always achieves positive results and this is proven by looking at where his career path has taken him since i last worked with him. Socially Carl is a very pleasenet and helpful person and i would be only too happy to work with Carl again in the future.

I worked with Carl while at Sony Ericsson, and it was apparant to me very quickly that Carl was always one step ahead of many people regarding where the market was heading. Not only does Carl have the ability to do this, he has the technical ability to move with technology, and implement his idea's, plus something lacking in many people, and that is the passion for the technology. If you meet Carl you'll see all of this first hand, his love for his work, for the technologies, it comes right out at you, and i think this is a great trait. The quality of Carl's work was always first class at Sony Ericsson. On top of that, something i really loved about working with Carl was his ability to spend time with you explaining techical aspects of an application in a non technical manner, so that the likes of me could understand. I'd strongly recommend Carl, and his work to anyone. I've thoroughly enjoyed working with him, and with watching his career since he left.
