Bio
Kurt Gilman
I managed Mark remotely from the west coast.Mark possesses a demonstrative talent of bringing much-needed clarity to any project. This talent was specifically noticeable while working on a complex, large, non-normalized data structure with few requirements. Mark's ability to shape and relate understanding to other team members throughout the project was instrumental in delivering a quality functional product. I would work with Mark again given the opportunity.
