Bio
Joe McCoy
Patrick's unique style, direct approach, and experience were just some of reasons I enjoyed working for him at Complete Genomics. Not only is he very observant, he is well versed in all areas of just about any subject, technical or otherwise, discussed around the table in staff meetings. He frequently provided helpful advice on alternate ways to approach situations and would point out any shortcomings in our thinking because he had a wider view. His many years of experience and insight into the workings of an IT organization make him a great leader and valuable asset for any company. I would not hesitate to work for Patrick again. .

I came in via acquisition and dropped into Core Engineering with the Netcode team. I was then hired into Professional Services to initiate a new global troubleshooting team - NetSquad.

My role consisted largely of providing necessary connectivity to our new wafer fab in Bangpa-In, Thailand. This predates trans-Pacific fiber so I was forced to provide dual 64KBPS satellite hops which supported voice, data and video to headquarters in California. Also supported connectivity to Japan, Malaysia and inter-campus connectivity in California. My role consisted largely of providing necessary connectivity to our new wafer fab in Bangpa-In, Thailand.
