John is a fantastic data engineer in his ability to read through problems, find their edges, and define the space to the product's goals. Many times, I worked with John on daunting projects, and he delivered each time. I also enjoyed our conversations--it was a pleasure to work with him.

While working at WB Games Boston, I was also blessed to report to John, who was both my mentor and a friend. At that time, we collaborated on a variety of Data Engineering and Analytics projects. John is an expert problem solver. He has the extensive engineering experience and is a creative engineer. He knows a variety of creative methods and he makes sure you learn what you need to. Even if you make mistakes, his calm manner will instill confidence in you. John's patience and willingness to help has inspired me to perform at my best. He always responds to my questions and concerns right away and even follows up afterward to ensure they have been addressed. In a nutshell, John is an excellent engineer who is great at mentoring. He is an asset to any company.
