Colleagues describe him as "I currently work with Chris, he is a key and valued member of the CADES team at ORNL. He has a depth of understanding and enthusiasm for his field I don't often come across. He is very approachable and willing to share knowledge about his work and explain intricacies and technical details without being patronizing or arrogant. He is very nearly a one-man team, and is capable and often does work that could keep a team of infrastructure and systems engineers busy. Above all, Chris has a high ethical and moral standard. He has a passion for open software and science I rarely encounter. Chris inspires me to be a more ethical and moral software engineer.", "Working with Chris brought a depth of knowledge to the team that was extremely valuable. The conversations I had with Chris directly improved my ability as a systems engineer. I knew whatever challenges came up Chris had a very grounded and architecture based solution to the problem at hand. I would love to work with Chris again and would reach out to him in an instant if I had a position that could catch his attention.", and "I managed Chris directly through a period of rapid growth and scale. He always took the larger view in his approach and engineered solutions for the future, not for the right now. He has an strong desire to clean up old technical debt and not more when solving problems. His wide range of experience and deep technical skills were a huge asset to me. If you have a deep obscure problem - Chris is the person you want on your team to tackle it. If you want to get to the bottom of a performance tuning issue - Chris is the person you want to lead it. If you want excellent detailed process documentation to train others - Chris is the person you want to write it. Chris is also the finest technical interviewer I have ever had the pleasure of knowing in my career. He has an excellent ability to make candidates feel comfortable and relaxed all while challenging their skills and getting valuable insight into their ability and approach. I highly recommend working with Chris Layton if you ever get the chance to do so!"
