Bio
Josh Utley
When Jon and I worked together at ManTech he was wicked talented. That was over ten years ago. I can only imagine how much his skills have improved since then. Jon and I worked on many projects together from DOS - FLASH - CGI and Perl to LAMP stack. He can even programed Photoshop Actions (yes you can program in Photoshop). My favorite memory was when I saw his coffee cup rested half way on his keyboard's Enter key. This was necessary as some Photoshop actions required you to confirm a step by manually hitting enter every few seconds. Jon taught me how to work through programming step by step. Aside from his teaching and programming skills he also has an eye for design which is rare. We call these sort of people Mythical Unicorns. Because they don't exist. But Jon does and if you happen to have him on your team know you have something magical!
