Over the many years which we worked together, Shane time and again demonstrated superb skill as a software developer married with a deep and insightful knowledge of our customers' business needs. In addition, Shane could always be counted upon to think outside of the box, providing incredibly insightful and oftentimes creative solutions to some of our biggest challenges. Shane was also someone on whom I could always rely on for a straight and honest answer; even under difficult circumstances. A true pleasure to work with, Shane leads from the front, actively participating in all facets of any development project and providing guidance and assistance where most needed. I am very proud to have been able to call upon Shane as a colleague, an advisor, and a friend.

Everyone around Shane is awed by his command of the domains he oversees. I’m not sure I’ve met a developer who can go so deep in such diverse areas of the system, not only with superb technical knowledge at all tiers, but also with key business insights behind it all. I’ve seen whole rooms go quiet many times because everyone there gratefully realizes Shane’s the only one who sees the entire picture and can make it clear for everyone. (His near-photographic memory doesn’t hurt, either. He can often remember fine details of things he worked years ago.) He catches many complexities up front, helping us avoid disaster down the line time and again. Shane has a great balance of the future and the practical present, knowing when to retool versus maintain, and his productivity is fantastic. As a well-organized leader, Shane is a stellar communicator, decisive yet easygoing, maxing out team strengths and buy-in while giving expert mentoring in return. He’s a deep tech guy loaded with soft skills; friendly, razor-smart -- a star on any team, as member or manager.
