It is my pleasure to write this recommendation for Damien Chason. It has been an exceptional experience working with him. Like all developers, Damien has been writing code for computer software. His responsibilities include requirements gathering, analysis, documentation, and design of complex Web applications using a variety of technologies. Throughout my time working with him, Damien proved himself to be a dependable employee and a hard worker with solid problem solving and technical skills. I was always impressed by Damien’s ability to complete the work assigned to him on time. Damien not only met deadlines but also explains his programs in a way that non-experts can easily understand. This skill came in handy when he presented his programs to clients who weren't particularly tech-savvy. Damien takes his work very seriously and regularly enrolled in classes to stay abreast of the newest developments in programming. His ongoing professional development courses helped him to easily learn new techniques and perform complex tasks the first time around. Although Damien is a fast learner, he is very careful and cautious about his work. That means he repeatedly runs checks on his programs (and others) before making them public to ensure there aren't any hiccups. His quick thinking and cautious personality have helped the company avoid some costly and embarrassing mistakes. Damien would be an asset to have on any team. To say he's a team leader would be an understatement. He's gone out of his way to welcome newcomers and resolve any problems they might have. He pitches innovative ideas at company meetings but also listens to what others have to say, including constructive criticism. When budgetary constraints limited the work our company could complete, Damien put his highly creative mind to use to come up with alternatives. Overall, Damien is a talented, hard-working employee and I strongly recommend Damien for any mid-to-senior-level development position. And with the right guidance and training, I have no doubt Damien could excel in an upper-level development position. He's simply that good.

I worked with Damien during my time at Venuenext. First thing that stood up for me about him was his dedication to learning and contributing to the project. He stepped up and took the ownership and made sure all tight schedule deliveries were met. In addition, he spent extra time to learn about iOS and Android platforms and different debugging skills to help with finding bugs and fixing them. He was very self-managed and motivated to learn and work with the team to deliver many products in one week.
