Simon is an amazing person, who has a tremendous work ethic and can adapt to all situations.

James McKay

I had the pleasure of working with Simon when he held the position of Technical Lead at SNS. Simon is a proactive and tireless contributor who would make a great addition to any team. Simon can take on new tasks and learn the required skills independently; he is a fast learner. With high ethics standards, I would look forward to working with Simon again.
