John Ash is a professional in their field. Colleagues describe them as "I’ve had the pleasure of working with John for nearly 8 years, both as a coworker and as my project manager. John is a very thoughtful project leader and a deeply talented software developer. He always has the best interests of others in mind, whether its the client, the company as a whole, or the developers he’s managing, he’s constantly striving for win-win-win situations. His software development skills are top-notch. I’ve had first-hand experience with his Ruby on Rails, MySQL, and command-line skills, and I’m always impressed both by how much he knows about these tools and by how aware he is of where he’s at, what he’s currently trying to achieve, and where he’s going in terms of the project at hand. He is a skilled web developer, a thoughtful workflow optimizer, a caring project manager, and a strong leader-by-example. I have been truly blessed and encouraged by every interaction I’ve had with John – he is a solid asset to any team he’s a part of. " and "John is a very competent and resourceful programmer. When I was doing PHP programming on the Walla Walla University library digital photo archive website, he helped me out several times and was able to implement the features I wanted."
