Colleagues describe him as "Mike is one of the most holistically strong peers I have had the pleasure of working with. He joined our organization with a wealth of experience, which he immediately leveraged to build up context on our projects and contribute to our mission. He seamlessly integrated prior experience with new information, adapting without being constrained by preconceived notions. He is a strong mentor, with teams he rotated onto demonstrating improvements to project planning and execution that persisted long after he moved off. The most significant project we worked together on was a large-scale redesign of one of our most critical modules. Throughout that process he demonstrated an exceptional ability to combine his deep technical expertise with product instincts, ruthlessly prioritizing what truly mattered. He worked with me to communicate this vision across the organization, getting buy-in from leadership and enabling collaboration with technical stakeholders. His technical leadership drove this project from early stage ideation to an actionable and enthusiastically embraced company initiative. His contributions to the project were invaluable and I am thankful to have had him as my technical counterpart. I would be excited to work with him again in any capacity.", "Mike was an organizational pillar and someone the entire team could lean on when it came to developing new engineering projects or addressing problems whenever they came up. He is an absolutely stellar leader and engineer who I've seen solve difficult technical and organizational challenges with the same careful, calculated approach. I enjoyed working with him and often leaned on his expertise and advice when architecting solutions across our ecosystem. Mike was great when communicating across the "business domain" to engineering gap. He had a hand in virtually every initiative our company took up and wasn't afraid to jump in to help any team meet a goal. It was a pleasure working with Mike and I hope to do so again sometime soon.", and "I have had the pleasure of working with Michael Adkins in several different capacities through our work with the California Association of Student Councils. In each interaction, I have been incredibly impressed with Michael's high level of commitment to the organization and his effectiveness as a team member. Most notably, Michael and I worked together at a leadership conference held in California’s State Capitol. At this conference, students gather from all across the state of California to draft proposals that are then presented to the State Board of Education on the final day of the five day event. This is an extremely fast-paced, results driven program. Michael was brought on board as member of the Research Team for this conference and later stepped up to replace the Lead Research Team member when they fell ill at a critical point in the program. As a member of the Research Team, Michael distinguished himself as one of the most competent team members I have ever worked with in my decade long affiliation with the organization. Michael is a bright, amiable, highly dedicated individual who adds tremendous value to a team."
