He was an excellent communicator and was never afraid to tackle hard problems. One of the times Derek and I worked together, we were working on trying to get ledge climb and wall climb to work across a number of different size Avatars. This problem was complicated by our animation system and how it shared animations. At the time Derek was new to our engine, but he willingly accepted the challenge. I always felt confident that Derek would figure out a solution, and I never worried about him.", and "Derek Peterson is an excellent coder.
