John Straw Email & Phone Number

John Straw is a Lead Technologist at Malachiarts. Colleagues describe him as "I worked for John for the past 3 years, and it was the most enjoyable experience of my career. John is brilliant. His ability to absorb and retain knowledge - both domain specific and general - is dumbfounding. He can hold very complex architecture in his head for months or even years as a project is developed, allowing him to remind everyone of the origins of the current state and the direction the project should go next. But what distinguishes John from other brilliant minds is his willingness to bear the burden of leadership for a team. His depth of knowledge, and the trust he earns from his team enable him to own the point, and keep the path clear for development. I will never forget this act of service. I would highly recommend John for any position in a software organization, but especially chief architect or senior / executive director. John will take any software organization to the next level." and "I worked with John as part of a multi-disciplinary group tasked with a ground-up reinvention of Yellowpages.com. John's ability to translate the user experience plan into a highly flexible and scalable technology framework while still contributing heavily to strategic product decisions AND leading development efforts was simply amazing. An absolute all-star."
