Bio
Dillan Roby
Derek was, and still is, an absolute pleasure to work with. We were classmates in General Assembly's Software Engineering Immersive, and partners on one group project. Derek was patient in explaining advanced programming concepts of API integration when I had difficulty grasping it. He remained humble in his approach, and took on big challenges always hungry for more. I could not recommend Derek more to prospective hiring managers and recruiters. After the course was over, Derek helped me deploy my final project to Heroku and continues to support his classmates in their pursuits.

Derek reported to me during his tenure at BuildingConnected and started with us as we transitioned through an acquisition to Autodesk's Construction Solutions umbrella. Despite some tough selling quarters and constant change, he became a key culture add to our team and never stopped hustling, always putting in incredible effort with a great attitude. He was constantly looking for ways to help motivate his peers and brought new and creative ideas to the team on how to connect with prospects. Derek is a great leader and excels in a fast-paced, team oriented environments and would be an asset to any company. I was proud to have played a role in hiring Derek, and would do it again given the opportunity.
