Bio
Seth Sterr
Paul is a very friendly, outgoing, and helpful person that won't hesitate to teach what he knows to others. I found that when I ran into a problem with a script or a build or a bit of code, I could go to Paul and get a solid recommendation on what to try to get it working properly. He always had an extra bit of knowledge about improving my workflow through the use of shortcuts and other handy extensions and tools to impart as well. He is an invaluable member of any team he is on, and has very detailed knowledge extending out into many different domains of programming. Paul would be a great asset to any team or project he's on.

Working with Paul was great, He always had a really positive and attitude which was both inspiring and contagious. He was an amazing asset to our team, tackled some of our most difficult tasks that we had in hand, and not only his solutions were elegant, they were really and easy to maintain. Would love to work with Paul again.
