I worked with Luke in several different scenarios and appreciated every encounter. Initially, Luke was brought on as a Coordinator/PM and quickly learned complex systems which allowed him to move up to lead/solve larger problems. Luke was one of those people you could count on to deliver what was asked of him. Luke also inherited Scrum Master duties for nearly all of our development teams/streams. He created an atmosphere of team work and kept everyone working towards the business vision, product roadmap and deadlines. Luke's hard work and dedication showed when you could send him an email at 8 pm and he'd reply/call back instantly. I appreciate the little things and Luke does them all. I see him being successful in whatever he puts his mind to. I appreciate the opportunity to write this recommendation of his work.

Luke is a great development manager. His knowledge of the Agile methodology helped improve the scrum process at Mitre Media. Luke is really easy to work with, always willing to help and is a great leader. He communicates effectively and always makes sure everyone understands the requirements for each user story that's being sprinted on. It's been a pleasure working with you Luke and I hope your ambitious dreams come true!
