His breath of knowledge and experience, from DevOps to Scala to AWS and software development in general, helped me through many tight deadlines, difficult projects, design challenges, defining and adopting coding best practices as well as implementation. When he considered my questions, he was very thoughtful in his response and took every opportunity as a teaching moment. He was always a mentor that I could lean on when I needed general advice, guidance with coding, team dynamics, and career advancement. By far, Doug is a great engineer, mentor, and friend that I am lucky to have met. Any company would be lucky to have Doug on their team.", "Doug is an extraordinary full-stack software engineer! His data-driven mindset, focus and passion (especially for Big Data and Machine Learning) makes him an asset on any project. His pragmatism, clear communication with colleagues at all levels, and willingness to help allows for him to be an effective developer, mentor and leader. He is easy to work with and always has a calm and friendly disposition.

There are those too you know who use these qualities to build things and along the way make a significant contributions to the project, the company, and those they work with. Doug has these qualities and in my experience applies them in everything he does. These are the kinds of people I think one wants on every team."
