I highly recommend him in this capacity. This successful two-year project involved implementing caller ID for major mobile phone carriers. The scope featured complex data, services, and client layers and application design, implementation, testing, and delivery with 99.9999% uptime requirements. Ed has a strong drive and did a great job of inspiring our team to deliver a high-quality solution on time. He struck a great balance between business pressures and demands and the technical realities of development and implementation. Ed did a fantastic job at managing the project and people involved to make this a very successful and enjoyable experience. His responsibilities included requirements gathering and documentation, technical design review, interaction with both technical and non-technical business stakeholders, developing budgets, schedules, and implementation plans, managing the development cycles including leading daily scrum meetings, and coordinating the QA, delivery, and support efforts. Ed has a software development and engineering background and understands technical matters very well. He also has a great sense as a project manager for when to let people and teams work independently and when direct assistance is needed. Another of Ed's unique qualities is that in addition to technical knowledge, he has an awesome human side and is a great listener, understanding and interacting well with people on his teams on a personal level. I've been involved in a large number of software projects during my career and Ed stands out as a superior technical software project manager whom I highly recommend and would enjoy working with again at any time."
