George Blake Email & Phone Number

George Blake is a Director, Software Engineering at Medidata Solutions at Medidata Solutions. He possess expertise in c#, agile methodologies, scrum, .net, visual studio and 24 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "George is self made. He has the vision, ambition, and initiative to build himself from engineer to Senior Manager. As an engineer, he is a grinder who puts the work and time in and is extremely dedicated. As a manager, he has the ability to read people for their strengths/weaknesses and put people in positions that maximize their skill set and align opportunities for them to be successful and to elevate/progress.", "George and I worked together developing a test automation suite for about a year. He and I got along famously, and I have tremendous respect for his skills as a developer, as well as his easy going demeanor and his strong work ethic. George is one of the most dedicated developers I've ever met, and anyone who has him on their team is extremely lucky.", and "I worked with George for almost 10 years, most of which I was his manager. The managing didn't require much, George wanted to solve software problems, so once he knew what was needed, he was mostly on his own fixing issues or improving software. When we moved to Scrum, George had no problem with the transition. He was a great collaborator with QA whenever needed, and worked to make sure they understood any issues that were pertinent to their needs. He's interested in more than just working with others, he wants to be part of a team. We had a rotation for 3rd line support, and sometimes I think George actually liked it, when the rest of us dreaded it. He thrives I think best when he's got a problem to solve and has to figure it out. He wants to be a part of a team that creates successful software. In fact, he'll do anything to make it so, like running manual test scripts with out complaint (another dreaded task). If you need someone who wants to bang out code, and contribute to a team atmosphere, George would be a great fit. I would recommend him whenever I could."

Listed skills include C#, Agile Methodologies, Scrum, .Net, and 25 others.
