Bio
Jeff R. Allen
Once in a while you come across someone who distinguishes him/herself right away as the 1 in a 1000 top engineer. Patrick is one of them, and I really enjoyed our time working together. His interest is in getting things done. He'll teach himself what he has to to achieve his goal. He signs up for challenging tasks and gets them done by planning a path forward that not only makes him successful in delivering whatever it is, but makes it possible for those around him (fellow devs, testers, managers) to find their place in the project and deliver the whole complex thing on time and with above-average quality. I'm looking forward to the next time we have the opportunity to work together.
