Bio
James Otis
I worked closely with Dan Snider on a complex migration project for a large proprietary software application. Our responsibility included managing the application’s compliance with 74 CPA regulating bodies, including all U.S. states. We were to maintain version 1 of the compliance software, prepare version 2, and support customers during migration. When first delivered to us, the new platform was so full of errors that many areas did not even run. A speedy migration of customers to the new platform was a high profile corporate initiative; Dan was key in accomplishing this, advancing from contributor to coordinator and developer. For a considerable period we maintained both platforms on a total of eight environments and fourteen servers. Dan was instrumental in developing procedures to subdue chaos and preserve sanity. Our team succeeded in fixing and even enhancing the new platform. All customers were successfully migrated. Dan made this possible. After two years, I left the team confident that all was secure and impressive achievements would continue because Dan was on the job. It does not suffice to say that Dan is industrious, organized, intelligent, and utterly reliable. It is important to add that throughout a demanding and often stressful project, Dan remained focused and personable. I welcome any opportunity to work with Dan again.

I've worked with Dan as both an employee and co-worker over the course of the last 8 years. Dan ability to use his analytical skills and balance of business and IT knowledge to design and implement business and technical process solutions is second to none. He consistently makes the interest of his clients and the organization as a whole his first priority and his work ethic reflects this. Dan's positive attitude and drive toward continuous improvement add immeasurable value to each effort he is involved in and the teams he works with. As a manager, he successfully balances providing the support and flexibility his teams needs while ensuring the needs of the organization are met. His (truly!) open door policy and focus on teamwork as the path to success create a motivating and productive work environment. Dan is one of the most impressive people I have had the pleasure of working with throughout my career and I hope I have the opportunity to work with him again in the near future.
