James Gilpin possesses expertise in soa, web services, business intelligence, visio, xml and 50 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "I had the pleasure of working with James Gilpin at Enable Midstream Partners. James has the rare ability to lead, keeping an eye on the big picture, and yet still maintain a very strong (& deep) technical acumen. You don't have to spend a lot of time with James' direct reports to realize he commands their respect and they genuinely look up to him as a leader. Many times I found that to be true with his peer managers in the organization as well. I consider myself fortunate to have been able to work with him and recommend his work product without hesitation. " and "I first met James Gilpin in 2008 while he was working as a contractor for Software AG. James was assigned to help us at CenterPoint Energy migrate our very large complicated Gas Information System from a mainframe to UNIX. James was a great asset for our migration and our team. He was a wonderful fit and we went on to hire him as a full time employee in 2011. Over those ten years, I’ve worked with James in several capacities. First, he was a patient contractor mentoring me, then a fellow team member, always willing and able to dig in and solve any problem, and for the last several years, my supportive boss. James is one of the finest people that I have ever had the pleasure of working with and I’ve been blessed to work with several. He is an honest, hardworking, caring leader and great to work with whether in person or remotely. I think that James’ greatest asset is his broad, detailed knowledge base and his desire to continuously learn new things. He likes digging into how different software products work and finding new practical applications for using them. He has a great memory and a keen interest in extending his knowledge of all things IT related. He came to our company because of his extensive knowledge of Software AG products, but over the years he got involved in so much more. He has the ability to see the ‘bigger picture’ and how to link various products together into a solution. He is also good with people and has excellent project leadership skills. I highly recommend James for any position. He would be an asset to any organization seeking a motivated, hardworking, professional who is capable of dealing with complex concepts and applications and making them fit together and work. "
