Patrick Arnold

He is a very adaptive and highly skilled Senior Software Developer and worked in different teams with different technologies like PHP, AWS, .NET etc. From designing software and infrastructure to its implementation and testing, Channing is an allrounder.

Channing is the person you turn to when all else has failed. Channing is an optimistic, conscientious, results-orientated, analytical, precise, even tempered, patient and tactful person. He is able to take complex concepts and break them down into smaller digestible parts such that his audience is able to understand a problem or issue from a fundamental and practical level. He is able to offer valuable insight when helping others to solve their problems. He is a broad minded and lateral problem solver. He can quickly identify critical aspects of a problem or issue and offer solutions. He remains calm under pressure and is able to manage his time effectively. Channing is a trustworthy, reliable, efficient, diplomatic team player and leader.
