Brian Matson is a Senior Lead, Software Engineering at Datacor, Inc.. Colleagues describe them as "Over the years, I've worked with hundreds of engineers. It's difficult to rank or compare them, because people are so different, with different skills, personalities, abilities, backgrounds and so on. There is a very small group, perhaps 4 or 5 altogether, of whom I think "I would be happy to work with this person in any role in any company". Brian is such a person. He learns quickly. He loves diving into new technologies and figuring out what they're good for. When he takes on a task, he fully commits to it. Even if it's something he doesn't particularly enjoy, he still does the best possible job he can. He rebuilt a major system for us that's at the heart of the value our company delivers, and we are just about to have to update the code for the first time 12 months after he moved on, and only then because the requirements have slightly changed. But more than all the technical skills, his positive attitude and relentless helpfulness are a boon to any team he works with."
