Bill Harris, CISSP

I've had the pleasure of working with Haris for a few years. During this time, he provided leadership and organization for our system and product certification process. Haris' regular responsibilities included testing functionality, performance, security, and resiliency for new services before certifying them for production use. In this capacity, Haris provided outstanding organizational skills, combining project management and technical acumen to deliver consistently high results often ahead of schedule. An ambitious self-starter, Haris required little guidance and instead excelled at identifying new ways to achieve our tactical and strategic IT objectives. Some of these methods leveraged Kanban and similar tools and included newer and simpler processes that shaved time off our deliverables and improved cross-team collaboration. Some of Haris' best work is the foundation for TR's certification process today and will no doubt be in use for years to come. I wholeheartedly recommend Haris for any organization, team, or department that places importance on details, efficiency, teamwork, and most importantly, results.

Brian Hedges

Harris is a very hard worker. He works hard to understand the requirements and then delivers. I'd like a bunch of Harris's to work for me. I would snap him up like a shot if he ever were to apply to work for me again.
