I've had the pleasure of working with Luke at no less than three different employers. A decade long friendship has helped us build a lot of the systems that run those places today. Through my career in IT I can count only a few peers/coworkers I've really meshed with; we get what each other is saying, and we're usually on the same page when it comes to tech. Luke is one of those guys. He has a vast amount of experience in many areas of IT, a highly likeable personality, and an analytical approach to his work. Luke excels at diving deep into a problem and is one of the smartest engineers I know. If I could build my IT Dream Team, Luke would be getting a call.
Jason Bundy
As a .NET developer, I worked with Lawrence at Insurance Administrative Solutions. His breadth of knowledge combined with his flexibility made him a valuable asset to me when deploying my web applications or even when getting stuck with a Systems issue. His positive, upbeat attitude created an enjoyable work environment.

I began with this company as a full-time systems engineer. I was part of a full replacement of the Information Technology crew. Myself, along with two new very well trained contract systems engineers (Meraki and Azure), and an excellent help desk staff, reverse engineered every aspect of the companies systems from scratch to further the companies ambitions during the Covid Pandemic. Once the CIO resigned, I assumed the IT Manager role and managed every aspect of IT management, all systems administration and help desk staff management. Show less
