I worked with Steve for 3 months on a project for our Computer Science capstone class at University of Maryland University College. We were a group of 4 students and developed a website based on the Hibernate/Spring/Struts2 frameworks, written in Java and hosted on an Apache Tomcat server. Steve handled all the quality assurance, testing and documentation for the project with great detail and accuracy. Besides testing all aspects of the application each week, he produced close to 150 pages of well-written and professional software documentation including high-quality diagrams (use case, sequence, state, class) and perfectly organized object description and class tables. Steve’s work was a huge contribution to the project and he constantly was done before deadlines offering to help others in the group with coding; his technical knowledge and motivating personality would make him a great asset to any software development or IT team.
