Bio
Adrian Hofman
I worked with Matt for 3 years at minfos. During that time I frequently depended on Matt's problem solving skills in a variety of scenarios. From assisting QA with environment setup to diagnosing and fixing critical production issues, Matt handles it all with grace and aplomb. He is analytical enough to get to the heart of any technical issue, and pragmatic enough to select the most sensible solution. I trust him implicitly. Matt's flexibility makes him an invaluable asset to the team. His technical aptitude and can-do attitude allows him to comfortably slot in to just about anywhere in the tech stack with barely any training or guidance. There is no task too trivial nor technology too dated - Matt tackles it all with utmost professionalism. I'd have no hesitation in recommending Matt for any development role he wishes to pursue.

To whom it may concern, I am writing this recommendation for Matthew McKinnon for a Senior Developer in your company. As development manager, I have supervised his work and assure you that Matthew is an excellent software developer. Matthew has worked with Minfos for the past four years. He was appointed as senior C++ developer, but his commitment and dedication to staying abreast of the latest technologies and tools meant he transitioned smoothly to a position as a senior .NET developer.He has through knowledge about advanced C# .NET and experience in related technologies. In particular NServiceBus, WPF and end to end development. He is an excellent team member and works in coordination with rest of the team. He encourages other team members to achieve their targets. Matthew has excellent communication skills and has the expertise to work easily alongside Business Analysts and QA. During his tenure at Minfos, Matthew's work consistently met or exceeded the company's and my expectations with the progress and success of the projects he worked on. I would like to thank you for your time and I hope that you would consider my recommendation. Regards, Andrew Wood Engineering Lead, RecordPoint.
