Colleagues describe him as "I am delighted to recommend Bob Blevins who served as a Team Development Lead for Indigo during the implementation of Indigo's new website. Bob’s exceptional skills as both a software engineer and a leader made a significant impact on the project and his team as a whole.As a servant leader, Bob excelled in coaching and encouraging his team. He has a unique talent for fostering collaboration and empowering team members to explore innovative solutions while remaining adaptable and open to course corrections. Bob's approach to leadership is both refreshing and effective; he provides the necessary guidance without dictating the path, allowing his team to grow and navigate challenges independently. Bob is approachable and genuinely cares about his direct reports. He has a preference to address issues openly and constructively, comfortable addressing the 'elephant in the room' or speaking truth to power. His innate understanding of how to support and develop his team members is unparalleled. Bob’s openness to learning on the fly, coupled with his ability to adapt, makes him an outstanding asset to any team. Throughout our time working together, I was impressed by Bob's ability to balance technical expertise with strong leadership. His collaborative spirit and commitment to team success were evident in every interaction. Bob’s skills as a software engineer, combined with his leadership qualities, truly set him apart. It was a pleasure working with Bob, and I would be honoured to have the opportunity to work with him again in the future. I highly recommend Bob for any position or project that values both technical acumen and exemplary leadership. Mark Gorrie Scrum Master " and "Bob is one of the best hires I ever made. He quickly grew to become one of my strongest delegates. I appreciate him for his technical aptitude and pursuit of code quality. He's equally focused on process quality and squashing inefficiencies. Do not ever tell him that the status quo is "good enough"! His most impressive skills are centered on people. He's very adept at pulling the right people together to jam on a problem. He makes a conscious effort to avoid taking up the most oxygen in the room and strives to give more opportunities to the developers themselves and help them grow. I can always rely on his candor—if he doesn't know something he will say so and then figure it out, and if he does know something he will tell you directly whether he agrees or disagrees. He also intakes new information and context easily which allows him to execute quickly. His ability to leave his ego behind makes him a very effective force multipler and will take him far."
