Shawn is an exceptionally qualified software engineer with an excellent understanding of human computer interaction. His code is beautiful and well thought out. He does not cut corners, constantly pushing for projects to be done BOTH well and on schedule. He has been a major asset to every project I've seen him work on (both at Intel and ASU/AME). Not only that but he is personable and collaborative, a joy to work with.
