Bio
Cathy Auman
Bob has a unique command over all things XML. He is Mr. Magic! I have worked with Bob for over three years on a very high profile, complex conversion project. Bob did an incredible job finding a creative solution to a seemingly hopeless situation. He was able to create a very complex, functional application that took in virtually unusable content and made something out of nothing. His depth of knowledge and experience is incredible as is his work ethic and ability to overcome obstacles. You can always count on Bob to make it work! And he is an absolute pleasure to work with. I always look forward to a joke or two from Bob during our morning scrums. I highly recommend Bob as an extraordinary and indispensable asset to any organization.
