Bio
Scott Bass
Michael and I worked side-by-side on a large data warehousing / business intelligence project for a number of months while we were both consultants at SAS Institute Australia. Michael has a tremendous level of technical skills across a broad range of SAS technologies. However, his expertise also extends to a wide range of other technologies as well, such as Unix system administration, various web technologies, network administration, PHP, and VMWare, to name but a small subset of his capabilities. Michael has very strong problem solving skills, a keen analytical mind, and low level details of "hidden features" and best practice throughout all of the SAS EIP product suite. He can support all phases of the software development life cycle, from architecture, design, implementation, deployment, support, training, and project handover. Finally, he has a strong work ethic and commitment to the customer's goals. If you ever get the opportunity to work with or hire Michael, I recommend you use that opportunity to "pick his brain" for all the hidden tips and tricks that he can pass on regarding the SAS software suite. I would not hesitate to hire Michael for the most complex of SAS consulting engagements.

Michael could always be relied on 100% in meeting project goals, and coupled with his excellent grasp of technology made him my most sought after resource at SAS Australia whenever I required an efficient, experienced and totally reliable consultant on a project.
