Colleagues describe him as "I've had the privilege of working with Doug during the integration of UBS and Credit Suisse. In my view it's rare to find an individual with a unique combination of talents that Doug has. Doug is a senior professional that "wears many hats" across, and is highly competent across all of them. I've known Doug in his role as an engineer/architect and tech lead in which Doug and his teams designed, built, operated, and supported a purpose-built software delivery platform that has been serving the entire firm for years now. As an organization lead, Doug has built up a capable and performant team responsible for end-to-end ownership of the services they have created. As a technology leader, Doug is seasoned. From forming strategy for a platform's technology stack, to selecting vendors and negotiating contracts, to evolving and optimizing system architecture, license usage, etc. Doug has been relied upon heavily for designing and implementing critical changes to developer platforms to support the integration of two IT environments - a complex endeavor with tight timelines. I particularly admire that Doug has a practical leadership style, and I've senses that those around him (including myself) appreciate the clarity that be brings in directing teams, in communicating, solving problems, system design, etc. I think this style is particularly important to the success he and his teams have had, and through navigating organizational changes that bring uncertainty to staff. Personally, I'm a fan of Doug's leadership and communication style which to me embodies both practicality and empathy. Doug grounded and concrete, in which roles objectives are clear. The quality of the teams that Doug has built reflect this particular strength. All in all, I would highly recommend Doug as a leader in technology, and know that many others would as well. Doug is truly a high-caliber professional that any organization would be lucky to cross paths with." and "Doug hit the ground running at Fujitsu and delivered on a short-term project with very loosely defined requirements and architecture and a tight deadline. Doug took ownership for the key elements of the application working in all tiers (user interface, web service and database) of the system. I have no hesitation in recommending Doug and hope to work with him again in the future."

Listed skills include Java Enterprise Edition, Websphere, Java, Web Services, and 20 others.
