Turner is a genius. He doesn’t tolerate having a problem where a solution is available. In his spare time, he implemented unit-test in our continues integration pipeline, vastly improved the quality of the product we deliver. He created the tools and set the standard we still use and adhere to today. I highly recommend Jon Turner.
