Frank S. is a Systems Engineer. Colleagues describe him as "Frank came into his position at Linden Lab with a passion to learn. He very quickly established himself as an irreplaceable part of the NOC, where he began, and on the Ops team after a well deserved promotion. I never once saw Frank shy away from a new bit of technology. He approached all his learning with gusto and quickly became an SME on every project assigned to him. Frank went above and beyond, quite often, showing his ongoing desire to do his job well. I consider myself very fortunate to have had a chance to work with Frank; initially as his mentor, and then after he quickly became a capable and competent coworker." and "I worked with Frank for a number of years, initially as a manager when he was part of the NOC at Linden and then alongside him as he joined the Operations team as a Linux Systems Administrator. Frank quickly showed me that he could complete a complex task with minimal supervision. He has an uncanny ability to take a loosely defined objective and determine not only what technical tasks need to be accomplished, but also what needed to happen on the business side in order to effect change. Equally capable with troubleshooting outages as he is working on long-term projects, Frank never failed to demonstrate that he is willing to take on new challenges and not be afraid to push himself to learn new technologies and acquire new skills; In doing so, he would also take the time to mentor fellow team members, as well as teaching some old dogs (such as myself) some new tricks. Frank is a force multiplier for any team that would be fortunate enough to have him join them. I would be incredibly lucky should our paths cross again in the future."
